Lobegott Samuel Obbarius (born December 12, 1788 in Heringen , † December 29, 1860 in Rudolstadt ) was a German classical philologist .
Life
Obbarius first attended the school in Heringen, later the grammar school in Rudolstadt. After graduation, he moved to Jena University in 1808 , where he mainly studied Protestant theology and classical philology. Among the theologians, he was particularly influenced by the New Testament scholar and text critic Johann Jakob Griesbach , the Christian archaeologist Johann Christian Wilhelm Augusti and the dogmatist Johann Philipp Gabler , by the lawyer Georg Ludwig Walch , by the philologist Heinrich Karl Eichstädt . After completing his studies, Obbarius worked as a private tutor in Kelbra for five years before he was appointed sub-principal at the Lyceum in Frankenhausen . In 1817 he moved to the local church ministry as a collaborator .
After Abraham Voss left , Obbarius received his completed high school professorship in Rudolstadt in 1819. Here he taught and researched until his death. In recognition of his services, he was made an honorary doctorate by the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Marburg in 1842 and accepted as an honorary member of the Philological Society of Jena in 1844.
Like his son Theodor Obbarius (1817–1855), who died early , Obbarius stood out particularly through his work on the Roman poet Horace . He published excerpts from the epistles in critical editions and commentaries. He published the commentaries on Epistles 2 to 22 together with Theodor Schmid in seven fascicles (1838–1847).
