Johann Christian Felix Baehr (June 13, 1798 – November 29, 1872) was a German philologist.
[edit] Life
Born at Darmstadt, he studied at the University of Heidelberg where he was appointed professor of classical philology in 1823, chief librarian in 1832, and on the retirement of G. F. Creuzer became director of the philological seminary. He died at Heidelberg. [1]
His earliest works were editions of Plutarch's Alcibiades (1822), Philopoemen, Flamininus, Pyrrhus (1826), the fragments of Ctesias (1824), and Herodotus (1830–1835, 1855–1862). But most important of all were his works on Roman literature and humanistic studies in the Middle Ages: Geschichte der römischen Litteratur (4th ed., 1868–1870), and the supplementary volumes, Die christlichen Dichter und Geschichtschreiber Roms (2nd ed,1872), Die christlich-römische Theologie (1837), and Geschichte der römischen Litteratur im karolingischen Zeitalter (1840).[1]
