Life
Friedrich Osann was the fourth son of the Weimaran government councilor Friedrich Heinrich Gotthelf Osann (* 1753, † March 29, 1803 in Weimar). His mother was Amalie Caroline Friederika Hufeland (1766–1843), a sister of the social hygienist Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland . After the early death of her father, she married the second marriage on October 31, 1815, the Minister of State Christian Gottlob von Voigt . The son of Friedrich Gotthilf Osann, Arthur Osann and the grandson Arthur Osann were members of the Hessian state parliament.
Friedrich Osann received his first training from private teachers in Berlin and attended grammar school in Weimar, where he became a childhood friend of Arthur Schopenhauer . He studied philosophy at the University of Jena in 1813 and at the University of Berlin in 1814 , with August Boeckh among others .
Here Osann received his doctorate in philosophy in 1816 and completed his habilitation in the same year. In 1817 he went on an educational trip through Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy. In 1819 he became a private lecturer in Berlin and in 1821 an associate professor of philology at the University of Jena. On June 18, 1825, Osann became full professor of classical philology and archeology at the University of Gießen and on April 12, 1827 director of the philological seminar there. Osann was also rector of the university in 1839/1840 and 1851/1852 .
During his time, Osann made a name for himself primarily in the field of classical philology and ancient studies. He mainly dealt with epigraphy , Greek lexicography , grammar and the history of Greek and Roman literature. In addition to numerous other smaller writings and treatises relating to these subjects, he edited several Greek and Latin authors and made notable contributions to the field of classical antiquity in various academic writings. He even included the Latin literature of the Middle Ages in his research. Among the numerous contributions to the various specialist journals, his articles published in 1857 in the Zeitschrift für Altertumswwissenschaft deserve special mention.
