Henry Iliowizi

Born in 1850 in the Russian Empire, Henry Iliowizi later settled in the United States, where he became known as a rabbi and English-language writer. Reference works available online identify him as a Russian-born American author, and bibliographic records connect his career with both religious life and literary work.

He is remembered for writing dramatic and imaginative works that draw on biblical, historical, and legendary themes. Among the books linked to his name are Herod: A Tragedy and The Wandering Jew, which suggest a taste for large moral questions and emotionally charged storytelling.

Reliable online sources located for this overview give only a limited sketch of his life, so many personal details remain unclear here. I also could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages I checked, so no author photo is included.
