Θουκυδιδου Ξυγγραφη. Thucydidis Historia, curavit Ludovicus Dindorfius

Ludwig August Dindorf (1805-1871), classical philologist. Educated at the Thomasschule and after at the University of Leipzig, where he studied under Gottfried Hermann. Dindorf never held a teaching position, preferring a private scholarly life. He published critical editions of many classical authors, including Thucydides, Xenophon, Euripides, Hesiod, Diodorus Siculus, Dio Cassius, Polybius, Pausanias, and Byzantine historians such as Zonaras, Malalas, and the Chronicon Paschale. His editions were often released through the Teubner and Didot collections and became standard scholarly texts. Alongside his brother Wilhelm, he worked for 25 years on the revised edition of Henri Estienne's Thesaurus linguae Graecae. DB
