Between Heymann Steinthal and Adolf Tobler

Georg Cohn in Turn-of-the-Century Berlin

| University of California, Berkeley
This bio-bibliographical account of Georg Cohn (1866–194?) essays to sketch out the life of a Berlin Privatgelehrter at the end of the 19th and the early period of the 20th century. It characterizes the intellectual milieu of time and place, both inside and outside the vistas of Romance philology at the University of Berlin, and traces in particular the influence on Georg Cohn of scholars such as the general linguist, philosopher, and psychologist of language, Heymann Steinthal (1823–99), on the one hand, and the Romanist Adolf Tobler (1835–1910), on the other. In addition, a detailed analysis is offered of Cohn’s most important contributions to Romance scholarship.
