(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Theodor Birt was a German classicist and novelist. He also used the name of the Humanist Beatus Rhenanus as a pseudonym. Life Birt's ancestors came from Pennsylvania and had been settled in Germany for three generations. Birt's father intended for him to become a shopkeeper but allowed his musically talented son to attend the Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums, a gymnasium in Hamburg, for three years where Johannes Classen and Adolf Kiessling were his teachers. From 1872, Birt studied classics, at first for a year in Leipzig, and then in Bonn under Hermann Usener and Franz Bücheler. From the time he completed his studies he remained at the University of Marburg. He became a full professor in 1886, and taught until 1921. In 1902–1903 he was the rector of the university.
