Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen

Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen (3 August 1864 – 25 October 1947) was a German archeologist and philologist, a specialist in Greek epigraphy.

He studied ancient history, first with Alfred von Gutschmid at Tübingen, then with Theodor Mommsen in Berlin.

He participated in the excavation at Magnesia on the Maeander under the leadership of Carl Humann in 1890 and became a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute in 1892.

He collaborated with Mommsen on Inscriptiones Graecae, the corpus of Greek inscriptions from 1893 onwards.

In total, he produced nine volumes for the series between 1895 and 1939, mostly dealing with inscriptions from the Aegean islands.
