Karoline Schelling - Schelling. She died at Maulbronn on the 7th of September 1809. Karoline Schelling played a considerable role in the intellectual movement of her time, and is especially remarkable for the assistance she afforded Schlegel in his translation of Shakespeare's works. She published nothing, however, in her own name. See G Waltz, Caroline: Briefe an ihre Geschwister, etc. (2 vols., 1871), and, by the same author, Caroline und ihre Freunde (1882); further, J. Janssen, Eine Kulturdame und ihre Freunde, Zeit und Lebensbilder (1885), and Mrs A Sidgwick, Caroline Schlegel and her Friends (London, 1899).

Karl Wilhelm Friedrich von Schlegel - them most of its governing ideas as to the characteristics of the middle ages, and as to the methods of literary expression. Of the two brothers, Friedrich was unquestionably the more original genius. He was the real founder of the Romantic school; to him more than to any other member of the school we owe the revolutionizing and germinating ideas which influenced so profoundly the development of German literature at the beginning of the 19th century. Friedrich Schlegel's wife, Dorothea, was the author of an unfinished romance, Florentin (180,), a Sammlung romantischer Dichtungen des Mittelalters (2 vols., 1804), a version of Lother und Maller (1805), and a translation of Madame de Staël's Corinne (1807-1808)--all of which were issued under her husband's name. By her first marriage she had a son, Philipp.
Karl Otfried Müller - and early history of the Macedonians). He introduced a new standard of accuracy in the cartography of ancient Greece. In 1828 he published Die Etrusker, a treatise on Etruscan antiquities. His Prolegomena zu einer wissenschaftlichen Mythologie (1825; Eng. trans., J Leitch, 1844), in which he avoided the extreme views of GF Creuzer and CA Lobeck, prepared the way for the scientific investigation of myths; while the study of ancient art was promoted by his Handbuch der Archäologie der Kunst (1830; Eng. trans., J Leitch, 1847), and Denkmäler der alten Kunst (1832), which he wrote in association with C Osterley. In 1840 appeared in England his History of the literature of Ancient Greece; the original German work from which it had been translated being issued in Germany in 1841 (4th ed. by.
Karl Felix Halm - Felix Halm (April 5, 1809 - October 5, 1882), German classical scholar and critic, was born at Munich. In 1849, after having held appointments at Spires (Speyer) and Hadamar, he became rector of the newly founded Maximiliansgymnasium at Munich, and in 1856 director of the royal library and professor in the university. These posts he held till his death. It is chiefly as the editor of Cicero and other Latin prose authors that Halm is known, although in early years he also devoted considerable attention to Greek.

Among Szymanowski's better known works.
Venus (planet) - mortal raised), first observed by Giovanni Domenico Cassini in 1672. Sporadic sightings of Neith by astronomers continued until 1892, but these sightings have since been discredited (they were mostly faint stars that happened to be in the right place at the right time) and Venus is now known to be moonless. Exploration of Venus Historical observations Venus is the most prominent astronomical feature in the morning and evening sky on Earth, and has been known of since before recorded history. One of the oldest surviving astronomical documents, from the Babylonian library of Ashurbanipal around 1600 BC, is a 21-year record of the appearances of Venus (which the early Babylonians called Nindaranna). The Assyrians called Venus Dil-bat or Dil-i-pat, in ancient Egypt it was the special star of the mother-god Ishtar, and.
Katharine Lee Bates - with the sea-like expanse." The words to her one famous poem first appeared in print in The Congregationalist, a weekly journal, for Independence Day, July 4, 1895. The poem reached a wider audience when her revised version was printed in the Boston Evening Transcript, November 19, 1904. Her final expanded version was written in 1913. The hymn has been sung to other music, but the familiar tune that Ray Charles delivered is by Samuel A. Ward (1847-1903), written for his hymn Materna (1882). Miss Bates was a prolific author of many volumes of poetry, travel books and children's books. Her family home on Falmouth's Main Street is preserved by the Falmouth Historical Society. Katharine Lee Bates died in Wellesley, Massachusetts, on March 26, 1929. External Link A site devoted to Miss.

Hefele's theological opinions inclined towards the more liberal school in the Roman Catholic Church, but he nevertheless received considerable signs of favour from its authorities, and was a member of the commission that made preparations for the Vatican Council of 1870. On the eve of that council he published at Naples his Causa Honorii Papae, which aimed at demonstrating the moral and historical impossibility of papal infallibility. About the same time he brought out a work in German on the same subject. He took rather a.
Karl-Maria Kertbeny - (1824 – 1882), Austrian-born journalist and human rights campaigner who coined the word homosexual, was born in Vienna, the son of a writer and a painter. The Benkert family moved to Budapest when he was a child—he was equally at home in Austria, Hungary or Germany. As a young man, while working as a bookseller's apprentice, Benkert had a close friend who was a homosexual. This young man killed himself after being blackmailed by an extortionist. Benkert later recalled that it was this tragic episode which led him to take a close interest in the subject of homosexuality, following what he called his "instinctive drive to take issue with every injustice." After a stint in the Hungarian army, Benkert made a living as a journalist and travel writer, and wrote at.
Karl Kautsky - most important and influential theoreticians of socialism, forming the marxist centre of the party together with August Bebel.

Karl Lehrs - post he held till his death. His most important works are: De Aristarchi Studiis Homericis (1833, 2nd ed. by A Ludwich, 1882), which laid a new foundation for Homeric exegesis (on the Aristarchean lines of explaining Homer from the text itself) and textual criticism Quaestiones Epicae (1837) ''De Asclepiade Myrleano'\' (1845) Herodiani Scripta Tria emendatiora (1848) Populare Aufsatze aus dem Altertum (1856, 2nd much enlarged ed., 1875), his best known work Horatius Flaccus (1869), in which, on aesthetic grounds, he rejected many of the odes as spurious Die Pindarscholien (1873). Lehrs was a man of very decided opinions, one of the most masculine of German scholars; his enthusiasm for everything Greek led him to adhere firmly to the undivided authorship of the Iliad; comparative mythology and the symbolical interpretation of myths.
Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick - in acknowledged sympathy with French hopes of reform, that when he gave an asylum in his duchy to the comte de Lille (Louis XVIII) the revolutionary government made no protest. Indeed, earlier in this year (1792) be had been offered supreme command of the French army. As the king of Prussia took the field with Brunswick's army, the duke felt bound as a soldier to treat his wishes as actual orders. The result of Brunswick's cautious advance on Paris was the cannonade of Valmy followed by the retreat of the allies. The following campaign of 1793 showed him perhaps at his best as a careful and exact general; even the fiery Hoche, with the nation in arms behind him, failed to make any impression on the veteran leader of the allies..

Klein bottle - is no distinction between the "inside" and the "outside" of the surface. The Klein bottle was first described in 1882 by the German mathematician Felix Klein. It is closely related to the Möbius strip and embeddings of the projective plane such as Boy's surface. Picture a bottle with a hole in the bottom. Now extend the neck. Curve the neck back on itself, insert it through the side of the bottle (a true Klein bottle in four dimensions would not require this step, but it's necessary to represent it in three dimensions), and connect it to the hole in the bottom. Unlike a drinking glass, this object has no "rim" where the surface stops abruptly. Unlike a balloon, a fly can go from the outside to the inside without passing through.
