Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PASSOW, FRANZ LUDWIG CARL FRIEDRICH (1786-1833) , German classical scholar and lexicographer, was born at Ludwigslust in Mecklenburg-Schwerin on the loth of September 1786. In 1807 he was appointed to the professorship of Greek literature at the
Weimar
  gymnasium by Goethe, whose acquaintance he had made during a holiday tour. In 1815 he became professor of ancient literature in the university of
Breslau
 , where he continued to reside until his death on the 11th of
March
  1833. His advocacy of gymnastic exercises, in which he himself took part, met with violent opposition and caused a quarrel known as the " Breslauer Turnfehde." Passow's
great
 
work
  was his Handworterbuch der griechischen Sprache (1819-1824), originally a revision of J. G. Schneider's
lexicon
 , which appeared in the fourth edition (1831) as an independent
work
 , without Schneider's name (new ed. by Cronert, 19o1). It formed the basis of Liddell and Scott's
lexicon
 . Other works by him are Grundzuge der griech. and rom. Literatur- and Kunstgeschichte (2nd. ed., 1829) and editions of Persius, Longus, Tacitus Germania,
Dionysius
  Periegetes, and
Musaeus
 . His miscellaneous writings have been collected in his Opuscula academica (1835) and Vermischte Schriften (1843).
