HAUG, MARTIN (18271876) , German Orientalist, was born at Ostdorf near Balingen, Wurttemberg, on the 30th of January 1827. He became a pupil in the gymnasium at
Stuttgart
  at a comparatively
late
  age, and in 1848 he entered the university of Tubingen, where he studied Oriental languages, especially Sanskrit. He afterwards attended lectures in Gottingen, and in 18J4 settled as Privatdozent at
Bonn
 . In 1856 he removed to
Heidelberg
 , where he assisted Bunsen in his literary under-takings; and in 1859 he accepted an invitation to India, where he became superintendent of Sanskrit studies and professor of Sanskrit in
Poona
 . Here his acquaintance with the Zend language and literature afforded him excellent opportunities for extending his knowledge of this branch of literature. The result of his researches was a volume of Essays on the sacred language, writings and religion of the Parsees (Bombay, 1862). Having returned to
Stuttgart
  in 1866, he was called to
Munich
  as professor of Sanskrit and
comparative
  philology in 1868.
He died on the 3rd of June 1876.
Besides the Essays on the Parsees, of which a new edition, by E. W. West, greatly enriched from the posthumous papers of the author, appeared in 1878, Haug published a number of works of considerable importance to the student of the literatures of ancient India and Persia. They include Die Pehlewisprache and der Bundehesch (1854); Die Schrift and Sprache der zweiten Keilschriftgattung (1855); Die fiinf Gathas, edited, translated and expounded (1858186o) ; an edition, with
translation
  and explanation, of the Aitareya Brahmana of the Rigveda (Bombay, 1863), which is accounted his best
work
  in the province of ancient Indian literature; A Lecture on an
original
  Speech of Zoroaster (1865); An old Zend-Pahlavi Glossary (1867) ; Uber den Charakter der Pehlewisprache (1869) ; Das 18. Kapitel des Wendidad (1869); Uber das Ardai-Virgfnameh (1870) ; An old Pahlavi-Pazand Glossary (187o) ; and Vedische Rdtselfragen and Ratselsprache (1875).
