Konrad Schubring

Konrad Schubring (born October 26, 1911 in Wundersleben , † June 19, 1966 in West Berlin ) was a German classical philologist , epigraphist and medical historian .

Konrad Schubring found the history of medicine under the influence of Karl Deichgräber while studying Classical Philology . He received his doctorate in 1938 at the Philipps University of Marburg , the subject of the dissertation was investigations into the transmission history of the Hippocratic script: De locis in homine . From 1946 he was in charge of the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum company at the German Academy of Sciences in Berlin and did a lot for resuming research after the Second World War . From 1950 he was also temporarily working group leader of the traditional companies Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum and Prosopographia Imperii Romani . In 1956 he was also awarded the title of professor at the academy. In the course of the construction of the wall , Schubring, who lived in the west of the divided city, lost these positions, which were now passed on to other people, such as Jutta Kollesch in the case of the Corpus Medicorum Graecorum . In 1963 he became a private lecturer at the Christian Albrechts University in Kiel , and a year later he became an academic councilor at the Free University of Berlin . Schubring was a member of the Göttingen Learned Society and the German Academy of Sciences.

Schubring's lasting achievements lie in particular in research into the history of medicine in ancient times and in Latin epigraphy . He was co-editor of several index volumes for part 8 of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum , the inscriptions of North Africa.
