from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Otto Franz Lommatzsch (born August 18, 1871 in Erlebach , † April 5, 1949 in Marburg ) was a German classical philologist .

After studying in Jena and Bonn, the son of a businessman received his doctorate in Bonn with a thesis on Juvenal in 1895 and also passed the state examination for teaching in the same year. In 1898/99 he stayed in Italy and Greece on a travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute and then worked as an assistant at the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae in Munich until October 1900 . During his time as an assistant at the Philological Department of the University of Freiburg from 1900 to 1905, Lommatzsch completed his habilitation there in 1901. From 1905 to 1912 he was general editor of the Thesaurus Linguae Latinae , and from 1908 at the same time honorary professor at Munich University.

In 1912 Lommatzsch was appointed full professor for Latin studies (successor to Friedrich Münzer ) at the University of Basel, and the following year at the University of Greifswald . His activity there was interrupted by military service (1914 to 1917). In 1922 Lommatzsch moved to the University of Marburg , where he was rector in 1925/1926 and retired in 1936. In the year of the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists , on November 11, 1933, he signed the confession of the German professors to Adolf Hitler .

Lommatzsch dealt in his research with the Mulomedicina des Vegetius (Edition 1905) and Latin satirists ( Quaestiones Iuuenalianae , 1893). For the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum he published the inscriptions from the time of the Roman Republic. For Franz Bücheler's collection of Latin verse inscriptions ( Carmina Latina epigraphica , CLE ), he combined numerous new finds into a supplement in 1926.
