HERSCHELL, SOLOMON (1761–1842), chief rabbi. [See Hirschel.]
HERSHON, PAUL ISAAC (1817–1888), hebraist, born of Jewish parents in Galicia in 1817, became at an early age a Christian. As a missionary he was an active promoter of the objects of the London Society for Promoting Christianity among the Jews in England and the East. He became in succession director of the House of Industry for Jews at Jerusalem and of the model farm at Jaffa. In 1859 he retired from the mission field in order to devote himself to work on the Talmud and Midrashim. He died, comparatively suddenly, 14 Oct. 1888, at Wood Green, Middlesex, in his seventy-first year, leaving a large amount of literary matter in manuscript. He published:
- ‘Extracts from the Talmud,’ 12mo, London, 1860.
- ‘The Pentateuch according to the Talmud. Part 1. Genesis. With Commentary and Notes,’ 8vo, London (1878).
- ‘A Talmudic Miscellany; … or a thousand and one Extracts [translated] from the Talmud, the Midrashim, and the Kabbalah,’ 8vo, London, 1880, forming vol. xix. of Trübner's ‘Oriental Series.’
- ‘Treasures of the Talmud … translated, with Notes,’ &c., 8vo, London, 1882.
- ‘The Pentateuch according to the Talmud. Genesis. With a Talmudical Commentary,’ 8vo, London, 1883.
He also translated from the Judæo-Polish, with notes and indices, Jacob ben Isaac of Janowa's rabbinical commentary on Genesis, 8vo, London, 1885; and compiled a digest of marginal references in Hebrew for the whole Bible, which is now the property of the London Jews' Society, but has not been published.

HERT, HENRY (fl. 1549), ttheologian. [See Hart.]
HERTELPOLL or HARTLEPOOL, HUGH of (d. 1302?), was a Franciscan friar at Oxford in 1282, when he was appointed by Devorguilla, widow of John Balliol, one of her two ‘proctors’ for the new college of Balliol. It was probably about this time that Hugh, having taken the doctor's degree, was divinity reader to the Franciscans at Oxford, being the twentieth in order. He was fourteenth provincial minister of the Franciscans in England in 1299 (Rec. Office, Q. R. Wardrobe, 8/2), and in this capacity in 1300 he presented twenty-two friars to the Bishop of Lincoln at Dorchester to be licensed to hear confessions at Oxford (Reg. Dalderby, f. 13). He again appears as provincial minister in 1302 (Reg. of Friars Minors, London), in which year he attended the general chapter at Genoa, and was appointed by Edward I one of his five proctors at the papal court to negotiate peace with the French (Almain Roll, 30 Ed. I, 9 Sept. 1302). He probably died in this or the following year, and was buried among the Franciscans at Assisi. The statement that he died about 1314 is unlikely, as Richard Conyngton, the sixteenth provincial, was already minister in 1310 (Hist. MSS. Comm. 4th Rep. p. 393). Hugh is said to have written ‘Commentarii in quatuor libros Sententiarum, Quæstiones disputatæ, Conciones de Tempore,’ &c. (Sbaralea, Suppl. Scriptt. Ord. Francisc. p. 360).
