Among his published works are Die haggadischen Elemente in den Homelien des persischen Weisen Aphraates (1891); Die Juden in Babylonien   200–500 (2 vols., 1902–08); Grundprinzip des biblischen Strafrechts … (1904), a comparative discussion of the Bible and the Hammurapi Code; Entstehung des Talmuds (19192); and Talmudproben (19212). The last two small but well-presented volumes, which appeared as volumes 479 and 583 in the popular Goeschen series, did much to convey a balanced view of the world of the Talmud to non-Jewish readers. Other publications of Funk were Die Hygiene des Talmuds (1912); "Bibel und Babel" (in Monumenta Talmudica, 1913); and a pro-Zionist tract, Der Kampf um Zion … (1921). -BIBLIOGRAPHY: S. Krauss, in: Die Wahrheit (Dec. 11, 1925), 7; Wiener Morgen-Zeitung (Dec. 12, 1925); JJLG, 20 (1929), 7; Arim ve-Immahot be-Yisrael, 1 (1946), 279. (Naphtali Ben-Menahem)
