Otto Ribbeck
Johann Carl Otto Ribbeck (born July 23, 1827 in Erfurt , † July 18, 1898 in Leipzig ) was a German classical philologist .
Life
Otto Ribbeck, the son of Consistorial Councilor Friedrich Ribbeck (1783–1860), worked as a trial candidate in Bonn and Berlin in 1850, as a teacher in Italy in 1852, in Berlin in 1853 and from 1854 to 1856 as a teacher at the grammar school in Elberfeld . He then became a professor at the University of Bern (1856–1861) and at the same time a councilor in Bern, professor at the University of Basel (1861/62), the University of Kiel (1862–1872) and the University of Heidelberg , before joining his teacher Friedrich Ritschl in 1877 followed at the chair for classical philology at the University of Leipzig . In 1887/88 he was rector of the University of Leipzig. In 1888 he was elected a corresponding member of the Göttingen Academy of Sciences .
Works
Ribbeck was the author of several standard works on poets and poetry in the Roman Empire , including above all History of Roman Poetry (2nd edition 1894–1900), The Roman Tragedy in the Age of the Republic (1875); Scaenicae Romanorum poesis fragmenta (2 volumes, 3rd edition 1897).
As a text critic, he stood out above all for his remarkable zeal, who never hesitated to change, rearrange or reject as false anything that did not meet his standard, tendencies that were expressed in his editions of the Epistles and Ars Poetica des Horace (1869) Satires des Juvenal (1859) and in the supplementary essay The real and fake Juvenal (1865) stand out. In later years he became more conservative.
His edition of Virgil (2nd edition 1894–1895), although only critical, is the result of great erudition, especially about the prolegomena (see Prolegomenon ). His Ritschl biography (1879–1881) is one of the best works in this genre. The influence of his teacher is also noticeable in Ribbeck's critical edition of Miles Gloriosus by Plautus and the contributions to the doctrine of the Latin particles , a work that makes it regrettable that he did not publish further research results in this direction. His speeches and lectures were published after his death (Leipzig 1899). He showed great interest in the monumental Thesaurus Linguae Latinae , and it is mainly thanks to his efforts that the government of Saxony supported its production with a remarkable financial contribution.
