Martin Heinrich Klaproth (q. v.). He devoted his energies in quite See also:early See also:life to the study of See also:Asiatic See also:languages, and published in 1802 his Asiatisches Magazin (See also:Weimar, 1802-1803). He was in consequence called to St See also:Peters-See also:burg and given an See also:appointment in the See also:academy there. In 1805 he was a member of See also:Count See also:Golovkin's See also:embassy to See also:China. On his return he was despatched by the academy to the See also:Caucasus on an ethnographical and linguistic exploration (1807-1808), and was afterwards employed for several years in connexion with the academy's See also:Oriental publications. In 1812 he moved to Berlin; but in 1815 he settled in See also:Paris, and in 1816 See also:Humboldt procured him from the See also:- KING

king of See also:Prussia the See also:title and See also:salary of See also:professor of Asiatic languages and literature, with permission to remain in Paris as See also:long as was requisite for the publication of his See also:works. He died in that See also:city on the 28th of See also:August 1835.
The See also:principal feature of Klaproth's erudition was the vastness of the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field which it embraced. His See also:great See also:work See also:Asia polyglotta (Paris, 1823 and 1831, with Sprachatlas) not only served as a resume of all that was known on the subject, but formed a new departure for the See also:classification of the Eastern languages, more especially those of the See also:Russian See also:Empire. To a great extent, however, his work is now superseded. The Itinerary of a See also:Chinese Traveller (1821), a See also:series of documents in the military archives of St See also:Petersburg purporting to be the travels of See also:George See also:Ludwig von , and a similar series obtained from him in the See also:London See also:foreign See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

Klaproth's other works include: Reise in den Kaukasus and Georgien in den Jahren 1807 and 1808 (See also:Halle, 1812–1814; See also:French See also:translation, Paris, 1823) ; Geographisch-historische Beschreibung See also:des ostlichen Kaukasus (Weimar, 1814) ; Tableaux historiques de l'Asie (Paris, 1826) ; Memoires relatifs d l'Asie (Paris, 1824–1828) ; Tableau historique, geographique, ethnographique et politique de Caucase (Paris, 1827) ; and Vocabulaire et grammaire de la langue georgienne (Paris, 1827).
