Ferdinand Florens Fleck (born April 5, 1800 in Dresden , † June 25, 1849 in Gießen ; also Ferdinand Florian Fleck , Ferdinand Florenz Fleck ) was a German Protestant theologian . He taught at the University of Leipzig and the University of Gießen .

Life

The eldest son of the Oberappellationsrat Ferdinand Gotthelf Fleck and his wife Christiana Dorothea, a née Green, initially received private lessons. At the age of 14 he attended the Princely School of St. Afra . In 1819 he began studying theology at the University of Leipzig. He also studied law , but only for one year. He continued his studies in 1821 at the University of Halle . There he taught, among others , August Hermann Niemeyer , Georg Christian Knapp , Wilhelm Gesenius and Julius August Ludwig Wegscheider . In 1823 he finished his studies and received his doctorate in philosophy in Leipzig .

With his work de regno Christi , Fleck completed his habilitation on February 25, 1826 in Leipzig for theology. At Easter of the following year he founded a society of New Testament exegesis at the university. Another year later he became a theological baccalaureate .

From 1831 to 1834 Fleck made a research trip that took him through southern Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland. Over the next three years he published the results he had obtained in his two-volume work Scientific Journey through Southern Germany, Italy, Sicily and France .

After his return, Fleck received the extraordinary professorship for exegesis in Leipzig in 1834 and received a licentiate in theology the following year . He also received an office as afternoon preacher and servant at the university church. The year 1835 also took him to Paris , where he studied the Codex Ephraemi Syri rescriptus. He worked on this in the period from January 28 to February 15 and from April 10 to May 19, but caused serious damage.

After Fleck had married Pauline Menz on April 3, 1837, two years later he received an honorary theological doctorate from the University of Rostock .

In 1847 Fleck went to the University of Giessen as a full professor of theology as the successor to Karl Friedrich August Fritzsche . He held the office until his death; he died on June 25, 1849 after a short illness at the age of 49.

Act

Fleck assigned himself to rationalist supranaturalism and tried to mediate between the two streams. His works dealt with exegesis and dogmatics , and in his early days he also wrote two legal works. He published several articles in magazines and edited a Vulgate edition . In old age, especially as a professor in Giessen, Fleck was also involved in politics and campaigned for a united Germany.
