Moses Elkan (Hebrew: משה אלחנן, romanized: Moshe Elḥanan; died January 31, 1822) was a Russian physician and Hebrew scholar. Elkan's works include a hymn in Hebrew and French addressed to Czar Alexander I (Munich, 1811).[1] He also published a manual in German on the history of the Jewish people, accompanied by a geographical sketch of Palestine, intended for use in Jewish schools. It was later translated into Russian by Z. Minor (Moscow, 1880).
