Ferdinand Justi

Ferdinand Justi (2 June 1837 in Marburg, Germany – 17 February 1907 in Marburg) was a German linguist and Orientalist.

Ferdinand Justi

He finished his studies of linguistics at the University of Marburg and the University of Göttingen. In 1861 he lived in Marburg, where in 1865 he became associate and in 1869 full professor of comparative linguistics and Germanic philology.

In addition to his academic work, he studied with meticulous precision the life of the Hessian peasants in the last third of the 19th century, especially in the immediate and wider area of Marburg, on which he wrote his observations and described it in countless sketches and watercolors. One of his main themes included buildings, furniture, agricultural implements, and especially costumes, with all its subtleties and accessories.

gollark: I currently just store stuff on my laptop, an old 1TB disk and a 240GB SSD with... well, some synchronization stuff on important data, that's basically all I have backupwise.
gollark: It's cool how cheap storage devices are, I must say. I can fit several seasons of TV shows, probably tens of movies, or tens of thousands of books on a cheap £8 USB stick.
gollark: There *still* doesn't seem to be a decent solution for one-off-ish file transfer over LANs between devices with different OSes.
gollark: I still have a USB stick around for use as a live USB and file transfer.
gollark: Or possibly 2D AR stuff eventually, if that ever takes off.
