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

Franz Müller (1847-?), senior teacher at the Royal Gymnasium in Quedlinburg. Müller published several commentaries on classical authors, primarily intended for Gymnasium students, with a particular focus on Thucydides.

Three volumes. Revision and expansion of Herbst 1892-1893 by Franz Müller, based on unpublished material by Herbst. A new edition of the commentary, focusing on Book 8, was published in 1909-1913: see Herbst-Müller 1909-1913.
