Biography
Curtius was born in
His philological theories exercised a widespread influence. The more important of his publications are:
- Die Sprachvergleichung in ihrem Verhältniss zur classischen Philologie (1845; Eng. trans. by FH Trithen, 1851)
- Sprachvergleichende Beiträge zur griechischen und lateinischen Grammatik (1846)
- Grundzüge der griechischen Etymologie (1858–1862, 5th ed. 1879)
- Das Verbum der griechischen Sprache (1873).
The last two works were translated into English by Augustus Samuel Wilkins and Edwin Bourdieu England.[4]
From 1878 until his death Curtius was general editor of the Leipziger Studien zur classischen Philologie. His Griechische Schulgrammatik, first published in 1852, passed through more than twenty editions and was edited in English. In his last work, Zur Kritik der neuesten Sprachforschung (1885), he attacked the views of the emerging Neogrammarian school of philology.[4][1]
Curtius died in Hermsdorf am Kynast, aged 65, and was succeeded at Leipzig by his student[7]Karl Brugmann. The Opuscula of Georg Curtius were edited after his death by Ernst Windisch (Kleine Schriften von E. C., 1886–1887).[4] He was posthumously elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1886.[8]
