Adelbert von Keller

Biography

He was born at Pleidelsheim, and educated at the University of Tübingen, where, after study at Paris, he became Privatdozent and assistant librarian (1835). After travels in Italy and research in Italian libraries, he was professor and librarian at Tübingen until 1850, when he became president of the Litterarische Verein. In this office much of his work as editor of German-language works was done, while his work in Romance languages belongs to the earlier period.

Notes
    gollark: I'd like to look into this stuff, but I don't have any good GPU hardware around.
    gollark: Until you make an AI which makes other AIs and accidentally obsolete yourself and also humanity
    gollark: I'm sure you'll have a long and successful career in AI ahead of you.
    gollark: Maybe stick in fragments of text to make it seem like something's going on too.
    gollark: That *would* be very funny. Just stick random camera streams onto a USB stick or DVD and leave it somewhere where someone might find it after a few months.
