Carl Abel (25 November 1837 – 26 November 1906) was a German comparative philologist from Berlin who wrote ''Linguistic Essays'' in 1880. Abel also acted as Ilchester lecturer on comparative lexicography at the University of Oxford and as the Berlin correspondent of the ''Times'' and the ''Standard''. His 400-page dictionary of Egyptian-Semitic-Indo-European roots appeared in 1884. His essay "On the antithetical meanings of primal words" (''Ueber die Gegensinn der Urwoerte'') was discussed by Sigmund Freud in an identically titled piece, which, in turn, was discussed by Jacques Derrida as a precursor to deconstruction's semantic insights. He also translated some of Shakespeare's works into German.〔(Hans-Werner Sinn, Please Bring me the New York Times )〕 He was a son of a succusful banker Gerson Abel. Of Jewish descent, he converted to Christianity.〔(Hans-Werner Sinn, On the European Roots of Richard Abel Musgrave )〕 Abel died in Wiesbaden. His son Curt Abel-Musgrave (1860-?) was a writer and translator. His grandson was noted economist Richard Musgrave.〔 ==Work== *Über den Begriff der Liebe in einigen alten und neuen Sprachen. C. G.
