LOBECK, CHRISTIAN AUGUST (1781-186o)

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LOB-LUP
LOBECK, CHRISTIAN AUGUST (1781-186o) , German classical scholar, was born at Naumburg on the 5th of June 1781. After having studied at Jena and
Leipzig
 , he settled at Wittenberg in 1802 as privat-docent, and in 1810 was appointed to a professor-ship in the university. Four years later, he accepted the chair of rhetoric and ancient literature at
Konigsberg
 , which he occupied till within two years of his death (25th of August 1860). His literary activities were devoted to the history of Greek religion and to the Greek language and literature. His greatest
work
 , Aglaophamus (1829), is still valuable to students. In this he maintains, against the views put forward by G. F. Creuzer in his Symbolik (1810-1823), that the religion of the Greek mysteries (especially those of Eleusis) did not essentially differ from the national religion; that it was not esoteric; that the priests as such neither taught nor possessed any higher knowledge of God; that the Oriental elements were a later importation. His edition of the Ajax of Sophocles (1809) had gained him the reputation of a
sound
  scholar and critic; his Phrynichus .(1820) and Paralipomena grammaticae graecae (1837) exhibit the widest acquaintance with Greek literature. He had little sympathy with
comparative
  philology, holding that it needed a lifetime to acquire a thorough knowledge of a single language.
See the article by L. Friedlander in Allgemeine deutsche Biographie; C. Bursian's Geschichte der klassischen Philologie in Deutschland (1883) ; Lehrs, Populare Aufsatze aus dem Altertum (2nd ed.,
Leipzig
 , 1875) ; Ludwich, Ausgewahlte Briefe von and an Chr. Aug.
Lobeck
  and K. Lehrs (1894); also J. E. Sandys, History of Classical Scholarship, i. (1908), 103.
