August Böckh or August Boeckh (; November 24, 1785 – August 3, 1867) was a German classical scholar and antiquarian. ==Biography== He was born at Karlsruhe, and educated at the local gymnasium; in 1803 he left for the University of Halle, where he studied theology. F.A. Wolf was teaching there, and creating an enthusiasm for classical studies; Böckh transferred from theology to philology, and became the best of Wolf's scholars. In 1807, he established himself as ''Privatdozent'' in the University of Heidelberg and was shortly afterwards appointed professor extraordinarius, becoming professor two years later. The common misapprehension of Böckh's first name being not just August but Philipp August originated in Heidelberg where staff of the university misread the abbreviation 'Dr phil' (doctor philosophiae) as 'Dr Philipp August Böckh'.〔Max Hoffmann: August Böckh. Lebensbeschreibung und Auswahl aus seinem wissenschaftlichen Briefwechsel (Leipzig 1901), p. 2 (footnote 1).〕 In 1811, he removed to the new Humboldt University at Berlin, where he had been appointed professor of eloquence and classical literature. He remained there till his death. He was elected a member of the Academy of Sciences of Berlin in 1814, and for a long time acted as its secretary. Many of the speeches contained in his ''Kleine Schriften'' were delivered in this latter capacity. Böckh died at Berlin in 1867. 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「August Böckh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
