At the origins of german classical archeology: adolf furtwängler

Abstract

Possessing versatile and deep knowledge in his field, distinguished by amazing energy and productivity, conducting all his research on the basis of a broad historical horizons, Adolf Furtwängler (1853-1907) for 33 years of his scientific, in the full sense of the word, work, was able to enrich classical archeology with a number of works, both large and small in volume, but always interesting and lively in content. Without dwelling on the mass of Furtwängler’s articles scattered over various periodicals and collections, articles devoted to the publication of new monuments of classical antiquity, a new explanation of the monuments previously known, we only note those works of Furtwängler that are most important as in the breadth of the task assigned to them, and as the importance of the issues discussed in them.
