Anton Führer
German classicist / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anton Führer (30 September 1854 – 20 July 1929).[1][2] was a German classicist who specialised in the language of Boeotia in Ancient Greece. He completed his dissertation De dialecto Boeotica at the University of Göttingen in 1876.[3] As noted by Harry Falk (Indologist), he is not to be confused with Alois Anton Führer, the Indologist who studied Sanskrit at the University of Würzburg and had a controversial career in India.[4] He was named an honorary citizen of the city of Rheine, and wrote a book about the city's history.
