Carl von Holzinger
Carl Holzinger (since 1886 Carl Holzinger Ritter von Weidich , born July 24, 1849 in Weltrus near Prague , † September 17, 1935 in Prague ) was an Austrian classical philologist .
Life
Carl Holzinger was the son of the teacher of the same name, Carl Holzinger (1810–1886), who worked as an educator for Count Rudolf Chotek von Chotowa . It was in 1878 by Franz Joseph I as a knight of Weidich ennobled and the nobility inherited his son.
Carl Holzinger attended the grammar school in Gorizia, which his father ran from 1862 to 1867 . After graduating, he studied Classical Philology at the University of Vienna (with Johannes Vahlen ) and from 1869 at the University of Graz (with Karl Schenkl ). After the teaching qualification examination (1871) Holzinger worked as a teacher at the Viennese high school Theresianum . His publications on the scholia of the comic poet Aristophanes enabled him in 1879, the promotion of Dr. phil. at the University of Vienna.
Due to his achievements in Aristophanes research he was appointed in 1883 - without habilitation - as associate professor of classical philology at the Karl Ferdinand University . Here he stayed until the end of his life. In 1887 he was appointed full professor. In 1895 he was elected Dean of the Philosophical Faculty. In 1899/1900 he was rector of the university. In 1921, Holzinger retired at the age of 70 .
Holzinger's Aristophanes Studies appeared particularly in the 1870s and 1880s; after that, his obligations in university teaching and self-administration prevented him from further publications. Before his retirement (1921) he emerged with an annotated metrical translation of Alexandra by the Hellenistic poet Lykophron (Leipzig 1895), with which he gave the decisive impetus for dealing with this poet. His other works on Aristophanes appeared after his retirement and posthumously .
His pupils included Josef Bick , Julius Jüthner , Anton Piccardt and Theodor Hopfner .
