Wilhelm Dindorf
Karl Wilhelm Dindorf , Latinized Guilielmus Dindorfus (born January 2, 1802 in Leipzig ; † August 1, 1883 ibid) was a classical philologist .
Dindorf was born in 1802 as the eldest son of the linguist and theologian Gottlieb Immanuel Dindorf (1755-1812) in Leipzig. From 1810 to 1817 he attended the Thomas School in Leipzig and the monastery school in Donndorf . He then studied Classical Philology at the University of Leipzig until 1828 . Christian Daniel Beck (1757–1832) gave him several jobs. In 1827 he was appointed curator of the Royal Prussian Library in Berlin for a year . In 1828 he returned to Leipzig and was there Dr. phil. and PhD .
From 1828 to 1833 Dindorf was an associate professor for the history of literature at the Philosophical Faculty of Leipzig University. When his hopes were dashed to take over the chair of Greek and Latin literature as Christian Daniel Beck's successor, he resigned from this post. He then worked as a writer and private scholar . He published numerous editions of ancient Greek texts, which often had multiple editions and some were reprinted in the 20th century. In 1846 Dindorf was elected a corresponding member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences . He died in Leipzig in 1883.
Dindorf's younger brother Ludwig (1805–1871) was also a well-known philologist.
