A. S. (Angelo Solomon) Rappoport

Angelo Solomon Rappoport (1871–1950), who published as A. S. Rappoport, was a Russian-born British writer, historian, and translator. Reference records from the National Library of Israel and the Online Books Page identify him under that full name and date range, and show a long publishing career in English on history, religion, and legend.

His work was aimed at broad audiences rather than narrow specialists. Surviving bibliographic listings connect him with books on Russian history, ancient Israel, Egypt, the Romanovs, the Psalms, and Jewish legend, suggesting a writer who liked to make large historical and cultural subjects approachable for everyday readers.

Reliable portrait evidence was not clearly available from the sources I could confirm here, so no image is included. That said, his body of work still gives a strong sense of his interests: big stories, wide reading, and a clear enthusiasm for the meeting point of history, myth, and belief.
