Philipp Karl Buttmann (5 December 1764 – June 21 1829), was a German philologist of French Huguenot ancestry (original family name "Boudemont"), born in Frankfurt am Main. He was educated in his native town and at the University of Göttingen, where he was a student of Christian Gottlob Heyne. In 1789 he obtained an appointment in the Royal Library of Berlin, and for a period of time, edited Spener's ''Journal''. In 1800 he became a professor at the Joachimsthal Gymnasium in Berlin, a post he held for eight years. In 1806 he was admitted to the Academy of Sciences as a member of its historical-philological section. In 1811 he became first librarian at the Royal Library.〔(ADB: Buttmann, Philipp Karl ) @ Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie〕〔(A History of Classical Scholarship: ) by John Edwin Sandys.〕 == Published works == Buttmann's writings gave a great impetus to the scientific study of the Greek language.
