Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOBRENTEI, GABOR [GABRIEL] (1786-1851) , Hungarian philologist and antiquary, was born at Nagyszollos in '786. He completed his studies at the universities of Wittenberg and
Leipzig
 , and was afterwards engaged as a tutor in Transylvania. At this period he originated and edited the Erdelyi Muzeum, which, notwithstanding its important influence on the development of the Magyar language and literature, soon failed for want of support. In 1820
Dobrentei
  settled at Pest, and there he spent the rest of his life. He held various official posts, but continued zealously to pursue the studies for which he had early shown a strong preference. His
great
 
work
  is the Ancient Monuments of the Magyar Language (Regi Magyar Nyelvemlekek), the editing of which was entrusted to him by the Hungarian
Academy
 . The first volume was published in 1838 and the fifth was in course of preparation at the time of his death.
Dobrentei
  was one of the twenty-two scholars appointed in 1825 to plan and organize, ender the presidency of Count Teleki, the Hungarian
Academy
 . In addition to his
great
 
work
  he wrote many valuable papers on historical and philological subjects, and many biographical notices of eminent Hungarians. 'these appeared in the Hungarian
translation
  of Brockhaus's Conversations-Lexikon. He translated into Hungarian Macbeth and other plays of Shakespeare, Sterne's letters from Yorick to Eliza (1828), several of Schiller's tragedies, and Moliere's Avare, and wrote several
original
  poems. Dobrentei does not appear to have taken any part in the revolutionary
movement
  of 1848. He died at his country
house
 , near Pest, on the a8th of March 1851.
