Friedrich Wilhelm Schneidewin (6 June 1810 – 11 January 1856), was a German classical scholar.
Biography
He was born on 6 June 1810 at Helmstedt. In 1833, he became a teacher at the Braunschweig gymnasium. In 1837 he was appointed an associate professor, and in 1842, a full professor of classical languages and literature at the University of Göttingen where he died on 11 January 1856. [1] [2]
Works
Schneidewin's work on Sophocles and the Greek lyric poets is of permanent value. [1] His most important publications are: [1]
- Ibyci Rhegini carminum reliquiae (1833), severely criticized by G. Hermann. [2]
- Simonidis Cei carminum reliquiae (1835); edition of Simonides of Ceos.
- Delectus poesis Graecorum elegiacae, iambicae, melicae (1838-39), in which the fragments of the lyric poets were for the first time published in a convenient form.
- Corpus Paroemiographorum Graecorum: Zenobius, Diogenianus, Plutarchus and Gregorius Cyprius, 1839–51, with E. von Leutsch), Gottingae, apud Vandenhoeck et Ruprecht, vol. 1, vol. 2.
- Sophocles (1849-1854, revised after his death by A. Nauck).
He also edited the fragments of the speeches of Hypereides on behalf of Euxenippus and Lycophron (already published by Churchill Babington from a papyrus discovered in Thebes, Egypt, in 1847) and a Latin poem on rhetorical figures by an unknown author ( Incerti auctoris de figuris vel schematibus versus heroici, 1841), found by Jules Quicherat in manuscript in the Paris library. Schneidewin was also the founder of Philologus (1846), a journal devoted to classical learning, and dedicated to the memory of K. O. Müller. [1] [2]
