Life

Heinrich Georges, the younger son of the classical philologist and high school teacher Karl Ernst Georges and Wilhelmine Caroline born. Hunnius (1815–1886), studied classical philology at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen from the summer semester of 1871 . From 1874 he worked as a laborer at the ducal library in Gotha . After his doctorate as Dr. phil. at the University of Leipzig (August 21, 1877) he was appointed full-time librarian in Gotha in 1879 . At the same time he took over the management of the ducal house and state archive . In 1899 he was appointed deputy library director Rudolf Ehwald .

Georges received rich recognition for his work as a librarian and archivist. In 1889 he was elected a member of the Academy of Charitable Sciences in Erfurt and received the title of professor. In his own academic work, he concentrated entirely on Latin lexicography: he revised the Latin-German part of his father's detailed Latin-German and German-Latin concise dictionaries , the new edition of which appeared in 1913 and was reprinted unchanged long after his death. He also continued his father's little concise dictionary .
