Why Is Georg Curtius Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Georg Curtius was a German philologist and distinguished comparativist. Biography Curtius was born in Lübeck, and was the brother of the historian and archeologist Ernst Curtius. After an education at Bonn and Berlin, he was for three years a schoolmaster in Dresden, until he returned to Berlin University as privatdocent. In 1849 he was placed in charge of the Philological Seminary at Prague, and two years later was appointed professor of classical philology in Prague University. In 1854, he moved from Prague to a similar appointment at Kiel, and again in 1862 from Kiel to Leipzig. He was teaching lndo-European and the historical grammar of the classical languages at Leipzig. His is contributions were focused "to bridge the gulf between classical philology and Aryan linguistics." As a professor he constantly attempted " to bring Classical Philology and the Science of Language into closer relation with each other." This clearly reflected in the works of his pupils, and that of his own.
