FRAHN, CHRISTIAN MARTIN (1782-1851) ,
German
  numismatist and historian, was born at
Rostock
 . He began his Oriental studies under Tychsen at the university of
Rostock
 , and afterwards prosecuted them at Gottingen and
Tubingen
 . He became a Latin master in
Pestalozzi
 's famous institute in 1804, returned
home
  in 18o6, and in the following year was chosen to fill the chair of Oriental
languages
  in the
Russian
  university of Kazan. Though in 1815 he was invited to succeed Tychsen at
Rostock, he preferred to go to St
Petersburg
 , where he became director of the Asiatic museum and councillor of state. He died at St
Petersburg
 .
Frahn wrote over 15o works. Among the more important are: Numophylacium orientale Pototianum (1813) ; De numorum Bulgharicorum fonte antiquissimo (1816) ; Des muhammedanische Miinzkabinet des asiatischen Museum der kaiserl. Akademie der Wissenschaf ten zu St Petersburg (1821); Numi cufici ex variis museis selecti (1823); Notice d'une centaine d'ouvrages arabes, lac., qui manquent en grande pantie aux bibliotheques de l'Europe (1834); and Nova supplementa ad recensionem Num. Muham. Acad. Imp. Sci. Petropolitanae (1855). His description of some medals struck by the Samanid and Bouid princes (1804) was composed in Arabic because he had no Latin types.
