Robert Adolf Morstadt (1803-1873), classical scholar, educator, and school director. Morstadt studied classical philology in Leipzig and Heidelberg, and earned his doctorate in 1827 with a thesis on the Rhesus attributed to Euripides. He began his teaching career in Frankfurt and co-edited a major edition of Thucydides in 1835. In 1839, he became director of the Gymnasium in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where he remained until retirement. His scholarly interests included Sophocles, Plato, Livy, Tacitus, and Cicero. DB

Georg Gottfried Gervinus (1805-1871), historian. Initially drawn to poetry, Gervinus later studied philology and history in Gießen and Heidelberg, and began his academic career as a lecturer before being appointed Professor of History and Literature at Göttingen. He gained prominence through his multi-volume history of German literature and his philosophical-historical Grundzüge der Historik. A liberal politician, he actively opposed conservative administrations, notably protesting in Göttingen in 1837, which led to his dismissal. Later reinstated, he taught in Heidelberg and continued to engage in political and historical debate until his death in 1871. DB

Two volumes. Vol. 1, edited by Morstadt, presents the Greek text along with Haacke's summaries and Duker's expanded indexes. Vol. 2, edited by Gervinus, includes ancient biographies of Thucydides, Duker's full commentary, selected notes by other scholars, Greek scholia annotated according to Estienne, Dodwell's annals revised by Corsini and Clinton, and an extensively expanded index derived from Duker's commentary.
