See also:DUBNER, JOHANN See also:FRIEDRICH (1802–1867) , See also:German classical See also:scholar (naturalized a Frenchman), was See also:born in See also:Hor selgau, near See also:Gotha, on the loth of See also:December 1802. After studying at the university of See also:Gottingen he returned to Gotha, where from 1827–1832 he held a See also:post (inspector coenobii) in connexion with the gymnasium. During this See also:period he made his name known by See also:editions of See also:Justin and See also:Persius (after See also:Casaubon). In 1832 he was invited by the See also:brothers See also:Didot to See also:Paris, to co-operate in a new edition of H. See also:Etienne's See also:Greek See also:Thesaurus. He also contributed largely to the Bibliotheca Graeca published by the same See also:firm, a See also:series of Greek See also:classics with Latin See also:translation, See also:critical notes and valuable indexes. One of Dubner's most important See also:works was an edition of See also:Caesar undertaken by command of See also:Napoleon III., which obtained him the See also:cross of the See also:Legion of See also:Honour. His editions are considered to be See also:models of See also:literary and philological See also:criticism, and did much to raise the See also:standard of classical scholarship in See also:France. He 'violently attacked See also:Burnouf's method of teaching Greek, but without result. Dubner may have gone too far in his zeal for reform, and his opinions may have been too harshly expressed, but See also:time has shown him to be right. The old See also:text-books have been discarded, and a See also:great improvement in classical teaching has taken See also:place in See also:recent years. Dubner died at See also:Montreuil-sous-Bois, near Paris, on the 13th of December 1867. See F. See also:Godefroy, See also:Notice sur J. F.
