Johann Valentin Francke, the son of the theologian Georg Samuel Francke (1763-1840), studied classical philology at the University of Kiel from 1810 to 1815 , especially with Karl Friedrich Heinrich . After completing his doctorate and habilitation , he held lectures at the university from 1815. In 1819 he went to the Flensburg grammar school as a sub-principal . In 1821 he received a full professorship at the Imperial University of Dorpat (now the University of Tartu), which he held until his untimely death at the age of 38.
Francke's research was particularly dedicated to the Greek elegists ( Kallinos , Tyrtaios ) and the Roman satirist Juvenal . He also wrote numerous Latin and Greek occasional poems on behalf of the University of Dorpat and published the inscriptions that Otto Friedrich von Richter (1792-1816) had collected in the Orient.
