Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AUGUSTI, JOHANN CHRISTIAN WILHELM (1772-1841) , German theologian, born at Eschenberga, near Gotha, was of Jewish descent, his grandfather having been a converted
rabbi
 . He was educated at the gymnasium at Gotha and the university of Jena. At Jena he studied oriental languages, of which he became professor there in 18o3. Subsequently he became
ordinary
  professor of theology (1812), and for a time
rector
 , at
Breslau
 . In 1819 he was transferred to the university of
Bonn
 , where he was made professor primarius. In 1828 he was appointed
chief
  member of the consistorial council at Coblenz. Here he was afterwards made director of the consistory. He died at Coblenz in 1841. Augusti had little sympathy with the modern philosophical interpretations of dogma, and although
he took up a position of free criticism with regard to the Biblical narratives, he held fast to the traditional faith. His works on theology (Dogmengeschichte, 18os; 4th ed., 1835) are simple statements of fact; they do not attempt a speculative treatment of their subjects. In 1809 he published in conjunction with W. M. L. de Wette a new
translation
  of the Old Testament. Mention should also be made of his Grundriss einer historischkritischen Einleitung ins Alte Testament (1806), his Exegetisches Handbuch des Allen Testaments (1797-1800), and his edition of Die Apokryphen des A. T. (1804). In addition to these, his most important writings are the Denku-iirdigkeiten aus der Christlichen Archaologie, 12 vols. (1817-1831), a partially digested
mass
  of materials, and the Handbuch der Christ. Archaologie, 3 vols. (1836-1837), which gives the substance of the larger
work
  in a more compact and systematic form.
