Life

Albert Hartmann was the son of the librarian August Hartmann (1846-1917), who worked as a folk song collector. He studied Classical Philology at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and joined the Academic Choral Society there. He was an intern at the Munich University Library in 1910/11, the third after his fellow students Walter Plöbst and Friedrich Bock .

From 1914 to 1915 Hartmann took part in the First World War. After his return he completed his doctorate as Dr. phil. from (1915). His doctoral thesis on telegonia , a lost poem from the Epic Cycle , was the first chapter of a larger work on the sagas of the death of Odysseus , published in 1917.

In 1916 Hartmann joined the academic library service. He worked at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek , from 1919 in the manuscript department, which he headed from 1936 until his retirement (January 1, 1949). In 1937 Hartmann was admitted to the NSDAP ( membership number 4,692,608).

Hartmann's research went hand in hand with his work in the manuscript department, from whose papyrus collection he edited and commented on several pieces. In 1933 he organized an exhibition from the papyrus collections. In the course of his work he also prepared a systematic handbook on ancient book studies, which was to appear in the handbook of ancient studies ; however, the work did not materialize.

Albert Hartmann's estate is in the Bavarian State Library (call number: Ana 368).
