Mendel Bresslau

Mendel ben Ḥayyim Judah Bresslau (; 1760–1829) was a Silesian Hebraist, writer, and bookseller.

Along with fellow ''Maskil'' Isaac Abraham Euchel, he founded language in Königsberg the ''Me'assefim'' society for the promotion of the Hebrew. He published numerous articles in the organization's periodical, ''Ha-Me'assef'' ('The Collector').

Among other works, Bresslau was the author of an allegorical ethical dialogue, ''Yaldut u-baḥarut'' ('Childhood and Youth'; Berlin, 1786). He also wrote ''Gelilot Eretz Israel'', a geography of the Land of Israel with two maps (Breslau, 1819), and ''Reshit ha-keriah'' (Breslau, 1834), a Hebrew reader and grammar with the phonetic method.
