Edwin Habel
Edwin Habel (* 1875 ) was a German Middle Latin philologist and teacher.
Habel was a teacher for Middle Latin Philology in Berlin. Together with the Berlin philologist and teacher Friedrich Groebel he created the "Middle Latin Glossary" and published it for the first time in 1931. This Middle Latin-German dictionary owes its existence to the Prussian curriculum from 1925, which introduced the reading of Latin literature of the Middle Ages to grammar schools for the first time. The word stock of the second edition of the work was reprinted unchanged for many years, the last time in 2008. The work, with its more than 10,000 Medieval Latin lemmas, is still an indispensable aid for studying the sources of medieval history, including church, legal and literary history. Habel was a student of the Middle Latin philologist Karl Strecker , who viewed the second edition of the glossary critically.
