Wilhelm Tegethoff (philologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Tegethoff (born December 2, 1907 , † April 19, 1996 ) was a German pulmonologist and amateur philologist .

In his free time, Wilhelm Tegethoff researched ancient scripts and languages ​​intensively, and made many trips to museums in order to copy written documents down to the last detail, since it seems that quite a few of the texts in literature have been copied incorrectly up to now. Other mistakes were made during the transcription into the Greek alphabet . Both can of course lead to incorrect interpretations.

His interpretations of the texts sometimes seem very daring, but at least the size of his text copies should be valuable.
