Franz Bücheler (3 June 1837 – 3 May 1908) was a German classical scholar, was born in Rheinberg, and educated at Bonn, where he was a student of Friedrich Ritschl (1806–1876).

Biography

In 1856 Bücheler graduated from the University of Bonn with a dissertation on linguistic studies of the Emperor Claudius. He held professorships successively at Freiburg (associate professor in 1858, full professor in 1862), Greifswald (from 1866), and Bonn (1870 to 1906).[1] At Bonn, he worked closely with Hermann Usener (1834–1905).

Both as a teacher and as a commentator he was extremely successful.[1] His research spanned the entirety of Greco-Roman antiquity, from poetry and sciences to the mundane aspects of everyday life.[2] In 1878 he became joint-editor of the Rheinisches Museum für Philologie.[1]

Among his editions are:

  • Frontini de aquis urbis Romae (Leipzig, 1858)
  • Pervigilium Veneris (Leipzig, 1859)
  • Petronii satirarum reliquiae (Berlin, 1862; 3rd ed., 1882)
  • Grundriss der lateinischen Deklination (1866)
  • Hymnus Cereris Homericus (Leipzig, 1869)
  • Q. Ciceronis reliquiae (1869)
  • Des Recht von Gortyn (Frankfort, 1885, with Ernst Zitelmann 1852-1923)
  • Herondae mimiambi (Bonn, 1892)
  • Petronii saturae et liber priapeorum (Berlin, 1904)

He also supervised the third edition (1893) of Otto Jahn's Persii, Juvenalis, Sulpiciae saturae.[3]
