Gustav Meyer (1850-1900), born in Groß Strehlitz, Austrian Empire (now Strzelce Opolskie in modern Poland), was an Austrian linguist, considered to be one of the most important albanologists of his time.[1]
Life and works
Meyer was born in 1850 in Groß Strehlitz (now Strzelce Opolskie in modern Poland). In 1867 he enrolled in the Breslau University (now University of Wrocław) and studied classical philology. He was there influenced by philologists Martin Julius Hertz dhe Adolf Friedrich Strelin. In 1871 he defended his dissertation De nominibus graecis copositus. In the same year he was named assistant professor at the University of Göttingen, and a year later professor of ancient languages in the same university. In 1877 he was named professor of indoeuropean linguistics in the University of Graz, where he pursued studies of Ancient Greek, Turkish, and Albanian. During this period he published his study Contribution on the theory of word-formation in Greek and Latin(1872).[2]
At the University of Graz, Meyer started to focus his studies on albanology, and prepared the foundations of the discipling by publishing the following works:
- Albanesische Studien, I, (1882);
- Etimologische Wörterbuch der albanesischen Sprache, Strassburg, (1891);
- Kurzgefasste albanesische Grammatik, Leipzig, (1888);
- Zum indogermanischen - Perfectum auf die albanesische Formenlehre, published in the Miscellanea di filologia e linguistica in memoriam by Napoleone Caix e Angelo Canello, Firenze, (1886);
- Die lateinischen Elemente im Albanesischen, published by Gröbers Grundriss, I, I. Auflage (1888) etj.
Meyer is known to have held a long correspondance with Jeronim de Rada, an Albanian leading figure of the Albanian National Awakening.[3]
In honor of his contributions to Albanology a grammar school in Tirana, Albania bears his name.
