KUHN, FRANZ FELIX ADALBERT (18121881)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 942 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
KUHN, FRANZ FELIX ADALBERT (18121881) ,
German
  philologist and folklorist, was born at
Konigsberg
  in Neumark on the 19th of November 1812. From 1841 he was connected with the Kollnisches Gymnasium at Berlin, of which he was appointed director in 1870. He died at Berlin on the 5th of May 1881. Kuhn was the founder of a new school of
comparative
  mythology, based upon
comparative
  philology. Inspired by Grimm's Deutsche Mythologic, he first devoted himself to
German
  stories and legends, and published Mdrkische Sagen und Mdrchen (1842), Norddeutsche Sagen, Mdrchen and Gebrduche (1848), and Sagen, Gebrduche and Marchen aus Westfalen (18J9). But it is on his researches into the language and history of the Indo-Germanic peoples as a whole that his reputation is founded. His
chief
  works in this connexion are : Zur altesten Geschichte der Indogermanischen Volker (1845), in which he endeavoured to give an account of the earliest civilization of the Indo-Germanic peoples before their separation into different families, by comparing and analysing the
original
  meaning of the words and stems common to the different
languages
 ; Die Herabkunft des Feuers and des Gottertranks (1859; new ed. by E. Kuhn, under
title
  of Mythologische Studien, 1886); and Uber Entwicklungsstufen der Mythenbildung (1873), in which he maintained that the origin of myths was to be looked for in the domain of language, and that their most essential factors were polyonymy and homonymy. The Zeitschrift fiir vergleichende Sprachforschung auf dem Gebiete der Indogermanischen Sprachen, with which he was intimately connected, is the standard periodical on the subject.
See obituary notice by C. Bruchmann in Bursian's Biographisches Jahrbuch (1881) and J. Schmidt in the above Zeitschrift,

 . n.s. 6.
