August Wilhelm Zumpt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Wilhelm Zumpt (December 4, 1815, Königsberg—April 22, 1877, Berlin) was a classical scholar, known chiefly in connection with Latin epigraphy. He was a nephew of Karl Gottlob Zumpt.
August Wilhelm studied in Berlin, and in 1851 became professor in the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium.
His papers on epigraphy (collected in Commentationes epigraphicae, i vols., 1850-54) brought him into conflict with Theodor Mommsen in connexion with the preparation of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, a scheme for which, drawn up by Mommsen, was approved in 1847.
