Title:
Christian Gottlob HEYNE (25 September 1729-14 July 1812) German philologist, archaeologist and librarian. First to attempt a scientific treatment of Greek mythology, he gave a decisive impulse to studies in philology, considering the study of grammar and language only a means, and not the main object of this science. Portrait, colored version of an engraving by Hugo Bürkner (1818-1897), Germany 1854
