Raphael Kühner (1802 - 1878)

Raphael Kühner (1802-1878) was a German classical scholar. He was born at Gotha, educated at Göttingen, and from 1824 to 1863 taught in the Hanover Lyceum. He published an edition of the Tusculanae Disputationes of Cicero (1829; fifth edition, 1874). His large Greek Grammar (two volumes, 1834-35) was translated by William Edward Jelf (1842-45). An enlarged third edition in four volumes was produced by Friedrich Wilhelm Blass and Bernhard Gerth (1890-1904). His large Latin Grammar (two volumes, 1877-79) has been reëdited in enlarged form by Holzweiss and Stegman (Hanover, 1912-14). His smaller Greek Grammar and Latin Grammar passed through many editions.
