Ferdinand Blümm
Ferdinand Blümm (born October 19, 1768 in Neustadt an der Saale , † August 30, 1823 in Würzburg ) was a German classical philologist .
Life
Ferdinand Blümm attended the Gymnasium zu Würzburg from 1781 and studied at the theological seminary from 1789, where he was ordained a priest in 1793. After two years as a pastor, he worked from 1795 as prefect of the aristocratic seminary and from 1797 as professor of rhetoric at the Würzburg grammar school. On October 27, 1806, Blümm was appointed professor of the first philosophical class at the grammar school. At the same time he received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Würzburg and was made prefect of the grammar schools in Würzburg and Münnerstadt . He was released from the three-fold office burden on September 7, 1809, when he was appointed full professor of philology at the Julius Maximilians University . In 1821 he was promoted to cathedral chapter and left the university. He died on August 30, 1823 at the age of 54.
Blümm's sphere of activity was limited to the city of Würzburg and its immediate surroundings. He wrote only a few writings, mostly occasional writings and speeches, which were rarely published and then only distributed in Würzburg. His translation of the third satire of Persius ( Aulus Persius Flaccus third satire in the verse of the original , Würzburg 1801) was more widely used.
In university teaching, Blümm showed himself to be diverse. In addition to the history of Greek and Roman literature, he also read several times about the geography of the Greeks and Romans (1817/18, 1818/19, 1819/20, 1821/22).
