Biography
He studied at the universities of Halle and Berlin, traveled extensively in the East, and in 1850 was appointed associate professor of Arabic literature at the University of Berlin.[1]
He won particular distinction by his researches in the Arabic language and literature. A lengthy list of his published works include:
- Ibn 'Akîl's Commentar zur Alfijja des Ibn Mâlik, (1852) – Ibn Aqil's commentary on the Alfijja of Ibn Maalik.
- Mutanabbii Carmina cum commentario Wahidii, (1861).
- Die Logik und Psychologie der Araber im zehnten Jarhhundert nach Christus, (1868) – The logic and psychology of the Arabs in the 10th century.
- Die philosophie der Araber im X. jahrhundert nach Christus, (1876), – The philosophy of the Arabs in the 10th century.
- Die Abhandlungen der Ichwân Es-Safâ in Auswahl (1886) – The memoirs of the Ikhwan as-Safa (selection).[2]
As language study aids, he published Chrestomathie Ottoman (1854, Ottoman chrestomathy) and Arabisch-Deutsches Handwörterbuch zum Koran und Thier und Mensch vor dem König der Genien (1894, Arabic-German concise dictionary of the Quran).[2]
In later years, he focused his energies in the field of Arabic philosophy, translating the philosophical and psychological works of Al-Farabi into German. He also made the treatises of the Ikhwan as-Safa (10th century secret philosophic society) accessible (1883–86). In 1882 he published Die sogenannte Theologie des Aristoteles : aus arabischen Handschriften ("Aristotle's so-called theology from Arab manuscripts").[1][3]
