Theodor Birt (22 March 1852 in Wandsbek – 28 January 1933 in Marburg) was a German classicist and novelist. He also used the name of the Humanist Beatus Rhenanus as a pseudonym. == Life == Birt's ancestors came from Pennsylvania and had been settled in Germany for three generations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz4566.html )〕 Birt's father intended for him to become a shopkeeper but allowed his musically talented son to attend the Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums, a gymnasium in Hamburg, for three years where Johannes Classen and Adolf Kiessling were his teachers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.deutsche-biographie.de/sfz4566.html )〕 From 1872, Birt studied classics, at first for a year in Leipzig, and then (1873–76) in Bonn under Hermann Usener and Franz Bücheler. From the time he completed his studies (from his 'Habilitation,' 1878) he remained at the University of Marburg. He became a full professor ('Ordinarius') in 1886, and taught until 1921. In 1902–1903 he was the rector of the university.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Birt )〕 Apart from his scholarly research, he became well-known to a wider public after 1913 for a large number of works that aimed to popularize scholarship on ancient Greece and Rome. He later published fiction and literary works (short stories, historical novels, plays, and poems). His collection of biographical sketches of famous Romans remains in print today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Birt )〕 He belonged to academic societies: the classical studies section of the Philologisch-Historischen Vereins and later to the scholarly Verbindung Hercynia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theodor_Birt )〕 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「Theodor Birt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
