PFEIFFER, FRANZ (18151868) , German scholar, was born at Bettlach near
Soleure
  on the 27th of
February
  1815. After studying at the university of
Munich
  he went to
Stuttgart
 , where in 1846 he became librarian to the royal library. In T856 Pfeiffer founded the Germania, a quarterly periodical devoted to German antiquarian research. In 1857, having established his fame as one of the foremost authorities on German medieval literature and philology, he was appointed professor of these subjects at the university of Vienna; and in 186o was made a member of the Imperial
Academy
  of Sciences. He died at Vienna on the 29th of May 1868.
Among the many writings edited by him may be mentioned the Barlaam and Josaphat of Rudolf von Ems (1843), the Edelstein of Ulrich Boner (1844), Die deutschen Mystiker des z. Jahrhunderts (18451857; new ed., 1906), the
Buch
  der Natur of Konrad von Megenberg, a 14th-
century
  writer (1861), Die Predigten des Berthold von Regensburg (1862), and the poems of Walther von der Vogelweide (1864; 6th ed. by K. Bartsch, 188o). Of his independent writings the most important are Zur deutschen L iteraturgeschichte, fiber Wesen and Bildung der hofischen Sprache in mittelhochdeutscher Zeit, Der Dichter des Nibelungenliedes, Forschung and Kritik auf dem Gebiete des deutschen Altertums, and Altdeutsches Ubungsbuch. A biographical sketch by Karl Bartsch is in Uhlands Briefwechsel mit Freiherrn von Lassberg, edited by Franz Pfeiffer (187o).
