Heinz Happ

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Happ (born May 8, 1931 in Frankfurt am Main ; † January 14, 2014 in Tübingen ) was a German classical philologist .

Happ studied Latin and Greek at the universities of Frankfurt and Tübingen . He completed his studies in 1958 with a dissertation on the late Roman author Luxurius (a poet named Lisorius equated Happ with Luxurius in a later treatise). In 1966 the habilitation took place with the work Hyle - studies on the Aristotelian concept of matter . In 1967 Happ became a lecturer, from 1973 an adjunct professor at the University of Tübingen, and in 1979 he was appointed C2 professor . In his other scientific work, Happ appeared primarily as a promoter of the dependency grammar in its application to Latin and thus significantly advanced the development of Latin school grammar.

Heinz Happ was married for the second time and had four children.
