Julius Friedländer (antiquarian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Friedländer (born April 25, 1827 in Berlin ; † November 4, 1882 there ) was a German bookseller and antiquarian .

Life

Friedländer was the eldest son of the Berlin antiquarian Raphael Friedländer, who had opened his own shop in 1828. He attended the Gymnasium zum Grauen Kloster , studied mathematics at the Berlin University and did his doctorate with a thesis on the convergence of the trigonometric series , which he had printed in English . He then left Germany and, with a recommendation from Alexander von Humboldt, tried to find a teaching position in the USA . This failed and he returned to Berlin after the death of his father in 1853. There he took over his business, which he expanded considerably and specialized in natural sciences. A specialty were the purchases of large estates from important scholars. Some of the large American libraries in particular were also regular customers.

Friedländer's antiquarian bookshop was ultimately one of the most important in Germany.

The music publisher Julius Friedländer and the numismatist Julius Friedländer were not related to him .
