Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAR-SCY
SCHNEIDER, JOHANN GOTTLOB (1750-1822) , German classical scholar and naturalist, was born at Kollmen in Saxony on the 18th of January 1750. In 1774, on the recommendation of Heyne, he became secretary to the famous Strassburg scholar, R. F.
Brunck
 , and in 1811 professor of ancient languages and eloquence at.
Breslau
  (
chief
  librarian, 1816) where he died on the 12th of January 1822. Of his numerous works the most important was his Kritisches griechisch-deutsches Handworterbuch (1797-1798), the first independent
work
  of the kind since Stephanus's
Thesaurus
 , and the basis of F. Passow's and all succeeding Greek lexicons. A
special
  improvement was the
introduction of words and expressions connected with natural history and science. The scientific writings of ancient authors especially attracted him. He published editions of Aelian, De natura animalium;
Nicander
 , Alexipharmaca and Theriaca; the Scriptores rei rusticae; Aristotle, Historia animalium and Politica;
Epicurus
 , Physica and Meteorologica; Theophrastus, Eclogae physicae; Oppian, Halieutica and Cynegetica; the complete works of Xenophon and Vitruvius; the Argonautica of the so-called Orpheus (for which Ruhnken nicknamed him " Orpheomastix "); an essay on the life and writings of
Pindar
  and a collection of his fragments. His Eclogae physicae is a selection of extracts of various length from Greek and Latin writers on scientific subjects, containing the
original
  text and commentary, with essays on natural history and science in ancient times.
See F. Passow, Opuscula academica (1835); C. Bursian, Geschichte der classischen Philologie in Deutschland (1883).
