Life

Hendrik was the son of pastor Claudius Henricus van Her Werden (* March 17, 1802 in Jutfaas ; † February 23, 1880 in Amersfoort ) and his wife Maria Anna Susanna Elisabeth Sara Schilling (* March 17, 1802 in Lingen ; † April 1, 1871 in Amersfoort). After initial instruction from his father, he attended the Latin school in Assen for two years . On September 21, 1849, Her Werden enrolled at the University of Leiden to study classical literature. Here Carel Gabriel Cobet , Reinhart Dozy and John Bake became his formative teachers. On December 15, 1855 he received his doctorate in Leiden with the treatise Observationes criticas in fragmenta comicorum graecorum to the doctor of philosophy. He then went on a three-year study trip that took him to Spanish, French and Italian libraries for philological research.

On returning to the Netherlands he became a teacher, first at the Instituut Noorthey in Voorschoten , then from 1860 to 1862 teacher of Greek language and literature at the grammar school in Groningen and from 1864 teacher of the same subject at the grammar school in The Hague . After making a name for himself in the field of Greek language, he was appointed professor of Greek language and literature by the curators of the University of Utrecht on July 1, 1864 . He began this task on October 28, 1864 with the introductory speech De recentiorum literarum cognitione futuro philologo haud contemnenda . In his capacity as a Utrecht university lecturer, he also took part in the organizational tasks and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1876/77 . He put this task down with the speech De moribus Graecorum aetate Homerica . After he retired from his professorship on June 10, 1902 for reasons of age, he then worked as a private lecturer for Greek epigraphy and palaeography in Utrecht.

Her haben became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam in 1870, a corresponding member of the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg in 1888 , became a member of the provincial Utrecht Society of Sciences and Arts, and in 1902 he became a corresponding member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in Munich and in 1892 honorary member of the Greek Scientific Society (Epistemonike Hetaireia) in Athens .
