GOTTLING, CARL WILHELM (1793-1869) , See also:German classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Jena on the 19th of See also:January 1793. He studied at the See also:universities of Jena and See also:Berlin, took See also:part in the See also:war against See also:France in 1814, and finally settled down in 1822 as See also:professor at the university of his native See also:town, where he continued to reside till his See also:death on the loth of January 1869. In his See also:early years Gottling devoted himself to German literature, and published two See also:works on the Nibelungen: Uber das Geschichtliche See also:im Nibelungenliede (1814) and Nibelungen and Gibelinen (1817). The greater part of his See also:life, however, was devoted to the study of classical literature, especially the elucidation of See also:Greek authors. The contents of his Gesammelte Abhandlungen aus dem klassischen Altertum (1851-1863) and Opuscula Academica (published in 1869 after his death) sufficiently indicate the varied nature of his studies. He edited the TExiq (grammatical See also:manual) of See also:Theodosius of See also:Alexandria (1822), See also:Aristotle's Politics (1824), and See also:Economics (183o) and See also:Hesiod(1831; 3rd ed. by J. See also:Flach, 1878). Mention may also be made of his Allgemeine Lehre vom See also:Accent der griechischen Sprache (1835), enlarged from a smaller See also:work, which was translated into See also:English (1831) as the Elements of Greek Accentuation; and of his See also:Correspondence with See also:Goethe (published 188o). See See also:memoirs by C. Nipperdey, his colleague at Jena (1869), G. Lothholz (See also:Stargard, 1876), K. See also:Fischer (See also:preface to the Opuscula Academica), and C.
