See also:NOLDEKE, THEODOR (1836— ) , See also:German Semitic See also:scholar, was See also:born at See also:Harburg on the 2nd of See also:March 1836, and studied at See also:Gottingen, See also:Vienna, See also:Leiden and See also:Berlin. In 1859 his See also:history of the See also:Koran won for him the See also:prize of the See also:French Academie See also:des See also:Inscriptions, and in the following See also:year he rewrote it in German (Geschichte des Korans) and published it with additions at Gottingen. In 1861 he began to lecture at the university of this See also:town, where three years later he was appointed extraordinary See also:professor. In 1868 he became See also:ordinary professor at See also:Kiel, and in 1872 was appointed to the See also:chair of See also:Oriental See also:languages at See also:Strassburg, which he resigned in 1906. Noldeke's range of studies has been wide and varied, but in the See also:main his See also:work has followed the two lines already indicated by his prize See also:essay, Semitic languages, and the history and See also:civilization of See also:Islam. While a See also:great See also:deal of his work (e.g. his Grammatik der neusyrischen Sprache, 1868, his Manddische Grammatik, 1874, and his See also:translations from the Arabian of See also:Tabari, 1881—1882) is meant for specialists, many of his books are of See also:interest to the See also:general reader. Several of his essays first appeared in the See also:Encyclopaedia Britannica, and his See also:article on the Koran, with some others, was republished in a See also:volume called Oriental Sketches. The articles dealing with See also:Persia were republished in a German volume, Aufsdtze zur persischen Geschichte (See also:Leipzig, 1887). Among his best-known See also:works are: Das Leben Mohammeds (1863); Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Poesie der See also:alten Araber (1864) ; See also:Die alttestamentliche Literatur (1868) ; Untersuchungen zur Kritik des See also:- ALLEN, BOG OF

Peter See also:Scheemakers, and practised See also:drawing and modelling with great assiduity, ultimately gaining various prizes offered by the Society of Arts. In 176o he went to See also:Rome, and he executed a See also:marble bas-See also:relief, " Timoclea before See also:Alexander," which obtained a prize of fifty guineas from that society in 1762. See also:Garrick and See also:Sterne were among the first See also:English visitors who sat to him for busts; among his larger pieces belonging to this See also:early See also:period perhaps the most important is the " See also:Mercury and See also:Venus chiding See also:Cupid." Having returned to See also:England in 1770, he was admitted an See also:associate of the Royal See also:Academy in 1771, and elected a member in 1772, the year in which he married See also:Mary, the second daughter of Saunders Welch.

time he had become known to See also:George III., whose bust he shortly afterwards executed, and henceforward, until about 1816, he was the most fashionable portrait sculptor of his See also:day. He himself thought highly of his early portrait of Sterne. Among many others may be specially named those of See also:Pitt, See also:Fox, the See also:prince of See also:Wales (afterwards George IV.), See also:Canning, See also:Perceval, See also:Benjamin See also:West and Lords Castlereagh, See also:Aberdeen, See also:Erskine, See also:Egremont and See also:Liverpool. He elaborated a number of marble See also:groups and statues, amongst which may be mentioned those of " Bacchus," " Venus taking off her See also:Sandal," " See also:Hope leaning on an See also:Urn, See also:Juno," " Paetus and See also:Arria," " Cupid and See also:Psyche " and (his own favourite performance) " Venus See also:anointing Herself "; all, however, although remarkable for delicacy of workmanship, are deficient in vigour and originality, and the drapery is peculiarly weak. The most prominent See also:personal characteristic of Nollekens seems to have been his frugality, which ultimately See also:developed into See also:absolute miserliness. Mrs Nollekens died in 1817, and the sculptor himself died in London on the 23rd of See also:April 1823, leaving a large See also:fortune.
