Rudolf Abicht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Abicht (born August 9, 1850 in Namslau , † February 12, 1921 in Breslau ) was a German theologian, Slavist and Orientalist .

Life

Abicht's ancestors came from Thuringia. His father Theodor Abicht was a Protestant pastor, his mother Bertha Hoffmann. He studied in Berlin, Halle and Breslau and then worked as a pastor in changing Silesian parishes. On May 30, 1876, he married a woman named Eugenie, who was a daughter of Obersteigers Ernst Schwand and Friederike Auguste Anders. Most recently he worked at the Eleven Thousand Virgins Church in Breslau , where he was released in 1912.

Works

Abicht had an extraordinary gift for languages. From 1892 he worked at the University of Wroclaw as a lecturer for Polish and Russian works. He was appointed professors in 1900 and completed his habilitation in Slavic philology seven years later. In his first own publications he dealt with oriental, then exclusively with Slavonic philology. Most of his texts came from the archive for Slavic Philology . He named important evidence for the Codex Suprasliensis . In addition, he wrote texts on the Belarusian language and a linguistically structured textbook on the Polish language, which, however, did not go to print. His carefully written, content-rich works, which sometimes contained independent and bold considerations, were never properly appreciated.
