BRANDIS, CHRISTIAN AUGUST (17901867) , German philologist and historian of philosophy, was born at Hildesheim and educated at Kiel University. In 1812 he graduated at Copenhagen, with a thesis Commentationes Eleaticae (a collection of fragments from Xenophanes, Parmenides and Melissus). For a time he studied at Gottingen, and in 1815 presented as his inaugural dissertation at Berlin his essay Von dem Begriff der Geschichte der Philosophie. In 1816 he refused an extraordinary professorship at
Heidelberg
  in order to accompany B. G.
Niebuhr
  to Italy as secretary to the Prussian embassy. Subsequently he assisted I.
Bekker
  in the preparation of his edition of Aristotle. In 1821 he became professor of philosophy in the newly founded university of Bonn, and in 1823 published his Aristotelius at Theophrasti Metaphysica. With Boeckh and
Niebuhr
  he edited the Rheinisches Museum, to which he contributed important articles on Socrates (1827, 1829). In 18361839 he was tutor to the
young
  king Otho of
Greece
 . His
great
 
work
 , the Handbuch der Geschichte der griechisch-rom. Philos. (18351866; republished in a smaller and more systematic form, Gesch. d. Entwickelungen d. griech. Pizilos., 18621866), is characterized by sound criticism. Brandis died on the 21st of July 1867.
