Text from NYT obituary: Dr. Shalom Spiegel, a retired professor of Hebrew literature at the Jewish Theological Seminary, died Thursday at Mount Sinai Hospital. He was 85 years old and lived in Manhattan. Dr. Spiegel joined the Jewish Theological Seminary in 1943 and became the William Prager Professor of medieval Hebrew literature. He retired in 1973. Dr. Spiegel wrote widely on Jewish legend and the lives of the prophets Hosea, Amos, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Job. His books included ''Hebrew Reborn,'' ''Ezekiel or Pseudo-Ezekiel,'' ''Noah, Daniel and Job'' and ''The Last Trial,'' a collection of legends about the sacrifice of Isaac. Lecture on Justice Dr. Spiegel, who was the brother of Sam Spiegel, the film producer, was born in Bukovina, Rumania. He received his doctorate at the University of Vienna in 1922. He came to the United States in 1928 and was a professor of literature at the Jewish Institute of Religion in New York from 1929 until he joined the Jewish Theological Seminary. Among his best-known lectures was one in 1957 to an audience that included former President Harry S. Truman and Chief Justice Earl Warren. The lecture was part of a special course in Talmudic law, and Professor Spiegel expounded the Judaic tradition of justice as conceived by the prophet Amos. In the lecture, Dr. Spiegel said that Amos had established that justice was innate in humans and transcended other laws and considerations. He praised Chief Justice Warren as ''a worthy trustee'' of the ''precious cargo'' of human liberty. Dr. Spiegel was a fellow of the American Academy for Jewish Research. A year ago, he was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.- Owner
