German-Austrian philologist From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernhard Seuffert (23 May 1853, in Würzburg – 15 May 1938, in Graz) was a German-Austrian philologist, specializing in German studies.
From 1871 he studied classical philology, history and German studies at the University of Würzburg, and afterwards continued his education at Strasbourg as a student of Wilhelm Scherer, Elias von Steinmeyer and Wilhelm Studemund. In 1877 he obtained his habilitation, and subsequently replaced Erich Schmidt as a lecturer at Würzburg. In 1886, he became an associate professor at the University of Graz, where from 1892 to 1924 he worked as a full professor of German philology. In 1913/14 he served as university rector.[1][2]
In collaboration with Erich Schmidt and Bernhard Ludwig Suphan, he was editor of the Vierteljahrschrift für litteraturgeschichte ("Quarterly edition for literary history"; 1888–93).
