Leutsch, Ernst von, 1808-1887

German scholar of classical philology at the University of Göttingen. Leutsch was born in Frankfurt am Main; as a result of his father's having various government posts, his family moved several times during his childhood and youth, and he attended Gymnasium in Dresden, Leipzig, and Celle. He entered the University of Göttingen in 1827 and completed his degree there in 1830. He subsequently studied under August Boeckh in Berlin, before returning to Göttingen as a lecturer in 1831, and establishing his own academic career there, becoming a full professor in 1842. Although not one of the famous Göttingen Seven, he was among several professors who signed an article expressing protest following the abrogation of the constitution in 1837. Among his close colleagues was Friedrich Wilhelm Schneidewin, founding editor of the journal Philologus; upon Schneidewin's death in 1856 Leutsch assumed energtetic editorship of the journal, introducing innovations including the founding of a supplement for academic reviews. In his latter years Leutsch was afflicted by encroaching blindness; the last of several operations restored his vision only a few months before his death.
