Leo Wiener (1862–1939) was an American historian, linguist, author and translator. BiographyWiener was born in Bialystok (then in the Russian Empire), of Polish-Jewish origin. Wiener declared, "Having 'for many years been a member of the Unitarian Church,' and having 'preached absolute amalgamation with the Gentile surroundings', (I) 'never allied with the Jewish Church or with Jews as such."[1] His father was Zelman Wiener,[2]{{full citation needed|date=August 2018}} and his mother was Frejda Rabinowicz. He studied at the University of Warsaw in 1880, and then at the Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin, before immigrating to the United States in 1882. [3] He traveled to the United States alone, with the purpose of creating a vegetarian commune in Belize. Then, after having travelled and worked around the country, he went to Kansas City, Missouri, and started working as a teacher.[4] He was a polyglot, and was reputed to speak thirty languages well.[5] Beginning in 1896, Wiener lectured on Slavic cultures at Harvard University and became the first American professor of Slavic literature. He translated 24 volumes of Leo Tolstoy's works into English.[6] He taught George Rapall Noyes. He was the father of MIT mathematician Norbert Wiener. Major works as author
