HAND, See also:FERDINAND GOTTHELF (1786-185r) , See also:German classical See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Plauen in See also:Saxony on the 15th of See also:February 1786. He studied at See also:Leipzig. in 18ro became See also:professor at the See also:Weimar gymnasium, and in 1817 professor of See also:philosophy and See also:Greek literature in the university of See also:Jena, where he remained till his See also:death on the 14th of See also:March 1851. The See also:work by which Hand is chiefly known is his (unfinished) edition of the See also:treatise of Horatius Tursellinus (See also:Orazio Torsellino, 1545–1599) on the Latin particles (Tursellinus, seu de particulis Latinis See also:commentarii, 1829–1845). Like his treatise on Latin See also:style (Lehrbuch See also:des lateinischen Stils, 3rd ed. by H. L. Schmitt, 1880), it is too abstruse and philosophical for the use of the See also:ordinary student. Hand was also an enthusiastic musician, and in his Asthetik der Tonkunst (1837–1841) he was the first to introduce the subject of musical See also:aesthetics. The first See also:part of the last-named work has been translated into See also:English by W. E. See also:Lawson (Aesthetics of Musical See also:Art, or The Beautiful in See also:Music, 1880), and B. Sears's Classical Studies (1849) contains a " See also:History of the Origin and Progress of the Latin See also:Language," abridged from Hand's work on the subject. There is a memoir of his See also:life and work by G.

Queck (Jena, 1852).
