A prolific philologist of both the German and classical languages,
Moriz Haupt (1808 74) enjoyed a successful academic career at the
universities of Leipzig and Berlin. As well as founding the
Zeitschrift fur deutsches Altertum, which is still published, he
was a painstaking yet somewhat bold editor of many classical texts.
In the years immediately following his death, his shorter works
were gathered together in this three-volume collection, edited by
fellow philologist Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848 1931).
Volume 2 (1876) contains the Latin text of forty-two lectures
delivered by Haupt twice a year at the University of Berlin between
1854 and 1874. The lectures cover a variety of topics concerning
classical texts, philology and literature, including an exposition
of the forgeries by Simeon Bosius of the texts of Catullus. This
work remains of value to researchers interested in
nineteenth-century German classical scholarship."
