Eduard Bodemann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Bodemann (born August 28, 1827 in Ohrum , † September 22, 1906 in Hanover ) was a German educator , librarian , historian , author and editor . He did pioneering work in the description of important parts of the former Royal Library of Hanover (today part of the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Library ), including the correspondence of the universal genius Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , who is now part of the world heritage .

Life

Born in Ohrum near Goslar as the son of a country pastor , Eduard Bodemann passed his Abitur in Braunschweig and then began studying theology and philology at the University of Göttingen from 1848 .

Until 1863 Eduard Bodemann was engaged as the tutor of Prince Hermann von Solms-Braunfels .

"[... Bodemann] came to the Royal Library of Hanover in 1864, initially as library secretary," but in 1867 he was appointed director of the library.

“Eduard Bodemann did pioneering work in describing the manuscripts and incunabula of the Royal Library. Its catalogs, in particular the lists of incunabula (, Xylographic and typographical incunabula of the Royal Public Library at Hannover ', 1867), the manuscripts (The manuscripts of the Royal Public Library at Hannover', 1867), the Leibniz correspondence ( 'The correspondence of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz in the Royal Public Library of Hanover ', 1889) and the Leibniz manuscripts (' The Leibniz Manuscripts of the Royal Public Library of Hanover ', 1895) are still authoritative reference works today. "

In 1897 Bodemann was appointed a secret government councilor and, due to his scientific merits, an honorary doctorate from the University of Göttingen. In the same year the Royal Library was merged with the Provincial Library; Eduard Bodemann remained its library director - until his death.
