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