Georg Friedrich Benecke, by Ludwig Emil Grimm

Beginning in 1780, he was a student at the University of Göttingen, where he was a pupil of Christian Gottlob Heyne.[1] In 1814 he became a full professor at Göttingen, and later on, acquired duties as a head librarian.[2]

His studies most notably involved old German and English literature.[2] He was editor of a dictionary to Hartmann von Aue's Ywain (1874). His preliminary work on a collection of Middle High German words was edited and published by Wilhelm Müller and Friedrich Zarncke after his death ("Mittelhochdeutsches Wörterbuch").

gollark: I feel like that would just be OCaml but the ecosystem is even more nonexistent.
gollark: It has nice features but also horrible things.
gollark: I tried using it for stuff and I disliked it.
gollark: Haskell is obviously no, Python is quite slow and has different ecosystem problems as well as a remarkable amount of weird inconsistency, JS dependencies break after about 5 months and it's an awful language, Rust is somewhat nice but annoying compared to higher level languages, Clojure is maybe good however Lisp and also Java (well, JVM), and... that's about it?
gollark: OCaml suffers from the same sort of ecosystem problem.
