Johann Gottfried Schweighauser (1776–1844), son of the classicist Johann Schweighauser was also a distinguished scholar and archaeologist, joint-author with M. Golbéry of Antiquités de l'Alsace (1828).
Schweighauser's first important work was his edition of Appian (1785), with Latin translation and commentary, and an account of the manuscripts. On Brunck's recommendation, he had collated an Augsburg manuscript of Appian for Samuel Musgrave, who was preparing an edition of that author, and after Musgrave's death he felt it a duty to complete it. His Polybius, with translation, notes and special lexicon, appeared in 1789-1795.
According to Paul Louis Courier,[1] his father sent him to England to collate a manuscript for his edition of Athenaeus.
See monographs by J. G. Dahler, C. L. Cuvier, F. J. Stiévenart (all 1830), L. Spach (1868), Ch. Rabany (1884), the two last containing an account of both father and son.
