KIEPERT, HEINRICH (1818-1899)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 788 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KIEPERT, HEINRICH (1818-1899) , German geographer, was born at Berlin on the 31st of July 1818. He was educated at the university there, studying especially history, philology and geography. In 1840-1846, in collaboration with Karl Ritter, he issued his first
work
 , Atlas von Hellas and den hellenischen Kolonien, which brought him at once into
eminence
  in the sphere of ancient historical cartography. In 1848 his Historischgeographischer Atlas der
alien
  Welt appeared, and in 1854 the first edition of the Atlas antiquus, which has obtained very wide recognition, being issued in
English
 , French, Russian, Dutch and Italian. In 1894 Kiepert produced the first
part
  of a larger atlas of the ancient world under the title Formae orbis antiqui; his valuable maps in Corpus inscriptionum latinarum must also be mentioned. In 1877-1878 his Lehrbuch der alten Geographie was published, and in 1879 Leitfaden der
alien
  Geographie, which was translated into
English
  (A
Manual
  of Ancient Geography, 1881) and into French. Among Kiepert's general works one of the most important was the excellent Neuer Handatlas giber alle Teile der Erde (1855 et seq.), and he also compiled a large number of
special
  and educational maps.
Asia
 
Minor
  was an area in which he took particular
interest
 . He visited it four times in 1841-1888; and his first map (1843-1846), together with his Karte des osmanischen Reiches in Asien (1844 and 1869), formed the highest authority for the geography of the region. Kiepert was professor of geography in the university of Berlin from 1854. He died at Berlin on the 21st of April 1899. He left unpublished considerable material in various departments of his
work
 , and with the assistance of this his son Richard (b. 1846), who followed his father's career, was enabled to issue a map of
Asia
 
Minor
  in 24 sheets, on a scale of 1: 400,000 (1902 et seq.), and to carry on the issue of Formae orbis antiqui.
