Friedrich Wilhelm Eduard Gerhard (November 29, 1795 – May 12, 1867) was a German archaeologist. He was co-founder and secretary of the first international archaeological society. ==Biography== Gerhard was born at Posen, and was educated at Breslau and Berlin. The reputation he acquired by his ''Lectiones Apollonianae'' (1816) led soon afterwards to his being appointed professor at the gymnasium of Posen. On resigning that office in 1819, on account of weakness of the eyes, he went in 1822 to Rome, where he remained for fifteen years. Gerhard was one of the principal originators of the Instituto di corrispondenza archeologica, founded at Rome in 1829, with the support of the Prussian crown prince, Frederick William. Co-founders included Theodor Panofka, Otto Magnus von Stackelberg and August Kestner. This model of international cooperation and systematic scientific publication was influenced by the example of Alexander von Humboldt, and later became the present-day German Archaeological Institute. Gerhard served as secretary to the new Institute during his stay in Rome. Returning to Germany in 1837 he was appointed archaeologist at the Royal Museum of Berlin, and in 1844 was chosen a member of the Academy of Sciences, and a professor in Berlin University. He died at Berlin. 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「Friedrich Wilhelm Eduard Gerhard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
