EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the renowned German philologist, Samuel Grosser (1664-1736). Born in the small town of Würzburg, Grosser made significant contributions to the field of classical studies during the late Baroque period. His expertise in Greek and Latin languages, as well as his extensive knowledge of ancient literature, earned him a reputation as a leading scholar of his time. Grosser's academic journey began at the University of Würzburg, where he studied under the guidance of renowned scholars such as Johann Christian Friedrich Hölderlin and Johann Christian Friedrich Höhns. He later continued his education in Leipzig and Jena, where he deepened his understanding of classical texts and philology. Upon returning to Würzburg, Grosser was appointed as a professor of Greek language and literature at the university. He went on to publish numerous works, including commentaries on the works of Homer, Virgil, and Horace, as well as a comprehensive Greek grammar. His scholarship was marked by its meticulous attention to detail and its commitment to the original texts, making it an invaluable resource for scholars of the time. Despite his scholarly achievements, Grosser's life was not without challenges. He faced criticism from some of his contemporaries, who accused him of being too focused on the literal meaning of texts and neglecting their historical and cultural contexts. However, Grosser remained steadfast in his approach, believing that a deep understanding of the language was essential for interpreting the meaning of ancient texts accurately. This print, which captures the scholarly intensity and dedication of Samuel Grosser, serves as a testament to his enduring legacy in the field of classical studies. His contributions continue to influence the work of scholars today, making him an important figure in the history of philology and the humanities.
