BEKKER, AUGUST IMMANUEL (17851871)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BEKKER, AUGUST IMMANUEL (17851871) , German philologist and critic, was born on the 21st of May 1785. He completed his classical education at the university of
Halle
  under F. A.
Wolf
 , who considered him as his most promising pupil. In 1810 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the university of Berlin. For several years, between 1810 and 1821, he travelled in France, Italy, England and parts of Germany, examining classical manuscripts and gathering materials for his
great
  editorial labours. He died at Berlin on the 7th of June 1871. Some detached fruits of his researches were given in the Anecdota Graeca, 1814-1821; but the full result of his unwearied industry and ability is to be found in the enormous array of classical authors edited by him. Anything like a complete
list
  of his works would occupy too much space, but it may be said that his industry extended to nearly the whole of Greek literature with the exception of the tragedians and lyric poets. His best known editions are: Plato (18161823), Oratores Attici (18231824),
Aristotle
  (18311836), Aristophanes (1829), and twenty-five volumes of the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. The only Latin authors edited by him were Livy (1829183o) and Tacitus (1831).
Bekker
  confined himself entirely to textual recension and criticism, in which he relied solely upon the MSS., and contributed little to the extension of general scholarship.
See Sauppe, Zur Erinnerung an
Meineke
  'und
Bekker
  (1872) ; Haupt, " Gedachtnisrede auf
Meineke
  und Bekker," in his Opuscula, iii.; E. I. Bekker, " Zur Erinnerung an meinen Vater," in the Preussisches Jahrbuch, xxix.
