Jean Auguste Ulric Scheler

Jean Auguste Ulric Scheler (1819–1890), also styled Auguste Scheler[1] was a Belgian philologist.

Biography

He was born at Ebnat, Switzerland. His father, a German, was chaplain to King Leopold I of Belgium, and Jean Scheler, after studying at Bonn and Munich, became King's librarian, and professor at the Universite Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). His investigations in Romance philology earned him a wide reputation. He died at Ixelles, Belgium, in 1890.

Works

The most important of his numerous philological works are:

  • Mémoire sur la conjugaison française considérée sous le rapport étymologique (Brussels, 1847)
  • Dictionnaire d'étymologie française d'après les résultats de la science moderne (Brussels, 1862)
  • Étude sur la transformation française des mots latins (Ghent, 1869)

He also edited the fourth edition of Diez's Etymologisches Wörterbuch der romanischen Sprachen (Bonn, 1878), and completed Grandgagnage's Dictionnaire étymologique de la langue wallonne (Louvain, 1880). He also published several critical editions of Middle Ages texts, including one of Les Poésies de Froissart (Brussels, 1870–1872), and a monograph Sur le séjour de l'apôtre saint Pierre a Rome (Brussels, 1845), which was translated into German and English.

Notes
  1. Notice sur Jean-Auguste-Ulric Scheler : membre de l'Académie (1895) in libraries (WorldCat catalog)
gollark: I'm going to go for just updating caddy *first*, since I wanted to do that for a while anyway.
gollark: Other websites' websockets work, and it works fine if i use the websocket backend locally without a reverse proxy.
gollark: Yes. Also working: wscat, the node.js `ws` package's client, and Firefox on my phone; it's probably *somewhat* on Firefox's end, but I imagine it might be some weird interaction between the server and client.
gollark: As I said, if this is somehow a webserver issue, I'm hoping caddy 2 will fix it, so I'm reading the docs to prepare for an upgrade to that.
gollark: Its internal HTTP logs, which I figured out how to get it to dump, do appear to show it doing *something*, but I don't understand them enough to say what.
