Adelbert von Keller (5 July 1812 – 13 March 1883) was a German
philologist.
Biography
He was born at
Pleidelsheim, and educated at the
University of Tübingen, where, after study at Paris, he became
Privatdozent and assistant librarian (1835). After travels in Italy and research in Italian libraries, he was professor and librarian at Tübingen until 1850, when he became president of the Litterarische Verein. In this office much of his work as editor of
