Franz Heinrich Ludolf Ahrens ( June 6 , 1809 - September 25 , 1881 ), was a German Philologist . He was born at Helmstedt . After studying at the University Of Göttingen (1826-1829) under Otfried Müller and Ludolf Dissen , and holding several educational appointments, in 1849 he succeeded GF Grotefend , director of the Lyceum at Hanover , a post which he filled with great success for thirty years. His most important work is ''De Graecae Linguae Dialectis'' (1839-1843), which, although unfortunately incomplete, dealing only with Aeolic and Doric , and in some respects superseded by modern research, became a standard treatise on the subject. He also published ''Bucolicorum Graecorum Reliquiae'' (1855-1859); studies on the dialects of Homer and the Greek lyrists; on Aeschylus ; and some excellent school textbooks. A volume of his minor works (ed. Haberlin) was published in 1891, which also contains a complete list of his writings. REFERENCES |
