Max Hermann Jellinek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Max Hermann Jellinek (born May 29, 1868 in Vienna , Austria-Hungary ; † May 6, 1938 ibid) was an Austrian Germanic Medievalist (Old Germanist) and edition philologist .

family

The Jellinek family, from which Max Hermann Jellinek comes, came from Moravia , where the ancestors allegedly belonged to an Abrahamic sect that had split off from the Hussites and Moravian brothers and converted to the Jewish faith as a result of Emperor Joseph II's religious policy and its non-recognition in the tolerance patent . At least this is what Jellinek's father, the famous Talmudic scholar and chief rabbi of Vienna, Adolf Jellinek, believed . Max Hermann's eldest brother, Georg , was a full professor of law at Heidelberg University , while the other older brother, Emil Jellinek , became an extremely wealthy businessman.

Live and act

Max Hermann Jellinek initially enjoyed private lessons and then attended the Franz-Josephs-Gymnasium in Vienna. After graduation in 1885, he studied Germanic, general and comparative linguistics at the University of Vienna from 1885 to 1889 , with a semester in Heidelberg in between. In 1889 he was at Richard Heinzel with a dissertation on theotisca The language of the Fragmenta and Mondseer glosses Dr. phil. PhD. Just three years later, his habilitation took place on the basis of his contributions to the explanation of Germanic inflection , which had already been under pressure the year before. Until 1900, however, the lecturer had to be appointed as ao. Professor wait, allegedly because of the anti-Semitic mood that prevailed in Vienna, but it was evidently a job problem because Jellinek's appointment as associate professor was finally made "ad personam". He was given the special assignment to hold courses for first-year students, foreigners and teacher training candidates with German as a minor subject, although his research focus was always on ancient Germanic phonetics and forms, early New High German grammar and edition philology, as can be seen from the numerous articles that have appeared in various special magazine series is.

From 1906 until his retirement in 1934, Jellinek then worked as a full professor for German language and literature at the University of Vienna. He was awarded the Officer's Cross of the Austrian Order of Merit. In 1919 the Vienna Academy of Sciences appointed him its corresponding member. In 1928 the commemorative publication "Max H. Jellinek" appeared on his 60th birthday, and in 1936 he was given the honor of being appointed honorary professor , but he fell seriously ill and after the " Anschluss of Austria " his teaching assignment was withdrawn. Max Hermann Jellinek found his final resting place in the family grave in the Vienna Central Cemetery (Group 59C, No. 26), where several children of his brother Emil (e.g. Mercédès and Raoul ) are also buried.

In 1968 the Max-Jellinek-Gasse in Vienna- Floridsdorf (21st district) was named after him.
