Chaim David Lippe (Yiddish: חיים דוד ליפפא; December 22, 1823 – August 26, 1900) was an Austrian-Jewish publisher and bibliographer.

Biography

Chaim David Lippe was born in 1823 in Stanisławów, Galicia (today Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine). He later relocated to Tschernowitz (today Czernowitz, Ukraine) and Eperies (today Prešov, Slovakia), where he took on the roles of teacher and cantor.[1]

In 1873, Lippe settled in Vienna, where he ran a Jewish publishing-house, which issued several popular works. He himself edited a bibliographical lexicon of modern Jewish literature, Ch. D. Lippe's Bibliographisches Lexicon der Gesammten Jüdischen Literatur der Gegenwart und Address-Anzeiger (Vienna, 1881; 2nd edition, 1900).

His brother was the Zionist activist Dr. Karpel Lippe.[1]
