Bernhard Adolph Hantzsch (12 January 1875 – June 1911) was a German ornithologist, Arctic researcher, and writer, notable for his discovery of two Icelandic bird subspecies. Hantzsch was the first white man to cross Baffin Island.〔Anderson (1928), p. 460〕 ==Early life== Hantzsch was born in Dresden, Germany the youngest son of the school master and researcher Adolf Hantzsch (1841–1920) and his wife Emma Jencke (1842–1889), niece of Johann Friedrich Jencke (1812–1893), the founder of the Dresden Institute, the first deaf institution. Hantzsch's siblings include the geographer and historian Viktor Hantzsch (1868–1910), the builder Hermann Hantzsch (1870–1945), and the clergyman Paul Kleinert's wife, Bertha Kleinert (1873–1924). He was baptised on 8 February 1875 by the deacon, Dr. Frommhold from Dresden's Anne Church (''Annenkirche''). During the period of 1881 to 1889, he attended the second public school in Dresden. At an early age, Hantzsch spent time in Tharandt Forest for health reasons. He later became an assistant teacher in Grillenberg, a village within the forest, giving him the opportunity to study bird life and developing an ornithological career. While having little inclination to foreign languages in his early years, he later became fluent in Croatian, English, Danish, and Inuit.〔Anderson (1928), p. 451〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bernhard Hantzsch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
