A German philologist; born at Konigsberg, Prussia, Jan. 14, 1802; died there, June 9, 1878. He was appointed instructor in philology in the Konigsberg University in 1831, and in 1845 became professor. His works deal for the most part with recondite questions, as "Aristarchus's Studies on Homer" (1833); "Three Writings of Herodianus" (1848); "The Scholia to Pindar" (1873); but he wrote also "Popular Essays on Antiquity, Especially on the Ethics and Religion of the Greeks" (1856; enlarged ed. 1875).
