Emil Seckel

Emil Seckel (10 January 1864, Neuenheim near Heidelberg – 26 April 1924, Todtmoos) was a German jurist and law historian.

In 1920, Seckel was appointed rector of the Humboldt University in Berlin as the successor to the historian Eduard Meyer.

The central management of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica assigned him the task of preparing the publication of a new edition in 1896 after the editor responsible Victor Krause suddenly died at the age of 31.

Before his death Seckel had published more than a thousand pages of research on the sources, but was unable to present a new edition of Benedictus Levita.
