Content: Complete Work

Ludwig Ferdinand Herbst (1811-1894), secondary school teacher and classical philologist. Herbst studied Classical Philology at the Universities of Göttingen and Berlin, where he was particularly influenced by Karl Otfried Müller and Karl Lachmann, and earned his doctorate in 1835. After returning to Hamburg, he spent over four decades teaching at the Johanneum. He published studies on Thucydides' style and textual criticism, culminating in a series of works produced after his retirement. Part of his research was published posthumously by Franz Müller, a grammar school teacher in Quedlinburg. DB

Two volumes. Philological commentary: vol. 1 covers Books 1-4, vol. 2 spans Books 5-8. After Herbst's death, the commentary was revised and published by Franz Müller, who drew on Herbst's unpublished notes – see Herbst-Müller 1898-1900 and Herbst-Müller 1909-1913.
