GEZER (the Kazir of Tethmosis [Thothmes] III.'s See also:

list of r8o3, and at the See also:close of his preliminary studies at the See also:seminary of See also:Blaubeuren entered the university of See also:Tubingen in 182r as a student of evangelical See also:theology. After passing his final See also:examinations in 1825, he spent a See also:year in See also:Switzerland, during See also:part of the See also:time acting as See also:companion and secretary to C. von See also:Bonstetten (1745–1832); the year 1827 was spent chiefly in See also:Rome. Re-turning to See also:Wurttemberg in 1828, he first undertook the duties of repetent or theological See also:tutor in Tubingen, and afterwards accepted a curacy in See also:Stuttgart; but having in 183o received an See also:appointment in the royal public library at Stuttgart, he thenceforth gave himself exclusively to literature and See also:historical See also:science. Ilis first See also:work on See also:Philo (Philo u. See also:die judisch-alexandrinische Theosophie, Stuttgart, 1831) was rapidly followed by an elaborate See also:biography, in two volumes, of Gustavus See also:Adolphus (Gustav Adolf, See also:Konig von Schweden, and See also:seine Zeit, Stuttgart, 1835–1837), and by a See also:critical See also:history of See also:primitive See also:Christianity (Kritische Geschichte See also:des Urchristenthurns, 3 vols., Stuttgart, 1838). Here See also:Gfrorer had manifested opinions unfavourable to Protestantism, which, however, were not openly avowed until fully See also:developed in his See also:church history (Allgemeine Kirchengeschichte bis Beginn des I4ten Jahrhunderts, Stuttgart, 1841–1846). In the autumn of 1846 he was appointed to the See also:chair of history in the university of See also:Freiburg, where he continued to See also:teach until his See also:death at See also:Carlsbad on the 6th of See also:July 1861. In 1848 he sat as a representative in the See also:Frankfort See also:parliament, where he supported the " High See also:German " party, and in 1853 he publicly went over to the Church of Rome. He was a See also:bitter opponent of See also:Prussia and an ardent controversialist. Among his later historical See also:works the most important is the Geschichte der ost- u. westfrankischen Karolinger (Freiburg, 1848) ; but those on the pseudo-Isidorian See also:Decretals (Untersuchung fiber Alter, Ursprung, u. See also:Werth der Decretalen des falschen Isidorus, 1848), on the primitive history of mankind (Urgeschichte des menschlichen Geschlechts, 1855), on See also:Hildebrand (Papst Gregorius VII. u. sein Zeitalter, 7 vols., 1859–1861), on the history of the 18th See also:century (Geschichte des 18ten Jahrhunderts, 1862–1873), on German popular rights (Zur Geschichte deutscher Volksrechte See also:im Mittelalter, See also:Basel, 1865–1866) and on See also:Byzantine history (Byzantinische Geschichten, 1872–1874), are also of real value.
