DUBNER, JOHANN FRIEDRICH (18021867) , German classical scholar (naturalized a Frenchman), was born in Hor selgau, near Gotha, on the loth of December 1802. After studying at the university of Gottingen he returned to Gotha, where from 18271832 he held a post (inspector coenobii) in connexion with the gymnasium. During this period he made his name known by editions of
Justin
  and Persius (after Casaubon). In 1832 he was invited by the
brothers
  Didot to Paris, to co-operate in a new edition of H.
Etienne
 's Greek Thesaurus. He also contributed largely to the Bibliotheca Graeca published by the same firm, a
series
  of Greek classics with Latin
translation
 ,
critical
  notes and valuable indexes. One of Dubner's most important works was an edition of Caesar undertaken by command of
Napoleon
  III., which obtained him the
cross
  of the Legion of Honour. His editions are considered to be models of literary and philological criticism, and did much to raise the standard of classical scholarship in France. He 'violently attacked Burnouf's method of teaching Greek, but without result. Dubner may have gone too far in his zeal for reform, and his opinions may have been too harshly expressed, but time has shown him to be right. The old text-books have been discarded, and a
great
  improvement in classical teaching has taken place in
recent
  years. Dubner died at Montreuil-sous-Bois, near Paris, on the 13th of December 1867.
