BERGLER, See also:STEPHAN , See also:German classical See also:scholar, was See also:born about 168o at See also:Kronstadt in Transylvania. The date of his See also:death is uncertain. After studying at See also:Leipzig, he went to See also:Amsterdam, where he edited See also:Homer and the Onomaslicon of See also:Julius See also:Pollux for Wetzstein the publisher. Subsequently, at See also:Hamburg, he assisted the See also:great bibliographer J. A. See also:Fabricius in the See also:production of his Bibliotheca Graeca and his edition of Sextus Empiricus. He finally found a permanent See also:post in See also:Bucharest as secretary to the See also:prince of See also:Walachia, See also:Alexander See also:Mavrocordato, whose See also:work l epl TWV Kath7KOVTWV (De Ojjiciis) he had previously translated for Fritzsch, the Leipzig bookseller, by whom he had been employed as See also:proof-reader and See also:literary hack. In the prince's library Bergler discovered the introduction and the first three chapters of See also:Eusebius's Demonstratio Evangelica. See also:lie died in Bucharest, and was buried at his See also:patron's expense. According to another See also:account, Bergler, finding himself without means, drifted to See also:Constantinople, where he came to an untoward end (c. 1740). He is said to have become a convert to See also:Islam; this See also:report was probably a See also:mistake for the undisputed fact that he embraced See also:Roman Catholicism. Bergler led a See also:wild and irregular See also:life, and offended his See also:friends and made many enemies by his dissipated habits and cynical disposition.

In addition to See also:

writing numerous articles for the Leipzig Acta Eruditorum, Bergler edited the editio princeps of the See also:Byzantine historiographer Genesius (1733), and the letters of See also:Alciphron (1715), in which seventy-five hitherto unpublished letters were for the first See also:time included.
