Anton Gindely (Czech: Antonín Gindely, 3 September 1829, Prague – 24 October 1892) was a Bohemian historian, a son of a Hungarian German father and a Czech mother, born in Prague.
He studied in Prague and in Olomouc, and, after travelling extensively in search of historical material, became professor of history at the German Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague and archivist for Bohemia in 1862. He died in Prague.[1]
Gindely's chief work is his Geschichte des dreissigjährigen Krieges (Prague, 1869–1880), which has been translated into English (New York, 1884); and his historical work is mainly concerned with the period of the Thirty Years' War.[1]
Perhaps the most important of his numerous other works are:
- Geschichte der böhmischen Brüder (Prague, 1857–1858)
- Rudolf II. und seine Zeit (1862–1868)
- A criticism of Wallenstein, Waldstein während seines ersten Generalats (1886)[1]
He wrote a history of Gabriel Bethlen in Hungarian, and edited the Monumenta historiae Bohemica. Gindely's posthumous work, Geschichte der Gegenreformation in Böhmen, was edited by T. Tupetz (1894).[1]
