Eduard von Kausler
Heinrich Eduard von Kausler (born August 20, 1801 in Winnenden , † August 27, 1873 in Stuttgart ) was a German archivist, historian, Germanist and Romanist .
life and work
Kausler studied law in Tübingen, Göttingen and Berlin, as well as German and Romance medieval studies. From 1826 he went through a career at the Royal Württemberg House and State Archives in Stuttgart, which he crowned in 1857 with the office of Vice Director. He made particular contributions to Dutch and Lusitan studies as well as to the Württemberg document book (1848 ff).
The publication of the old French constitution of the Kingdom of Jerusalem ( Livres des assises ) based on a Munich manuscript he broke off after the first volume because a competing publication by Victor Fouché (1802–1866), a brother-in-law of Victor Hugo , appeared in France . This Assises du royaume de Jérusalem (Paris 1839–1841), based on a manuscript from Venice, he reviewed sharply.
Kausler was also one of the founders of the library of the Litterarian Society in Stuttgart in 1842 .
