Eduard Friedrich Ferdinand Beer
Eduard Friedrich Ferdinand Beer (June 15, 1805 in Bautzen β April 5, 1841 in Leipzig) was a German orientalist, epigraphist and paleographer.
[1] Eduard Friedrich Ferdinand Beer was born on June 15, 1805, in Bautzen, the son of the tailor Leonhard Beer (1775β1827) and his wife Erdmuthe Eleonora Dorothea, who was born in 1785, and the daughter of the tailor Gottlieb Apelt (1753β1805) and his wife Rosina Dorothea Friese (1761β1810).
On April 5, 1841, he died in Leipzig at the age of 35 from a hemorrhage, which was the result of a lung disease that Beer had been suffering from since his youth.
His thesis Inscriptiones et papyri veteres semitici, quotquot in Aegypto reperti sunt, editi et inediti, recensiti et ad originem hebraeo-judaicam relati, cum Palaeographia hebraea concinnata could not be continued, for Wilhelm Gesenius was shortly to publish his Scripturae Linguaeque Phoeniciae, a larger work containing most of the material from Beer's work.
In 1838, after a review of cuneiform inscriptions by other researchers in the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung, he was finally promoted to associate professor of Semitic paleography.
