L. L. Zamenhof

Dr. Ludovic Lazarus (Ludwik Lejzer) Zamenhof (December 15, 1859–April 14, 1917) was an ophthalmologist, philologist, and the initiator of Esperanto, the most widely spoken planned language to date. His native languages were Russian and Yiddish, but he also spoke Polish and German fluently. Later he learned French, Latin, Greek, Hebrew and English, and he also had an interest in Italian, Spanish and Lithuanian.

Homaranismo

Dr. Zamenhof also published a religious philosophy he called Homaranismo (humanitarianism), based on the principles and teachings of Hillel the Elder. This may have been part of what later attracted Lidia to the Bahá?í faith.
