Friedrich Wilhelm August Mullach (Latin: Fridericus Guilelmus Augustus Mullachius; 1807–1882) was a German philologist and Byzantine scholar.
He taught history and philology at Berlin University.
His Fragments of the Greek Philosophers was the first comprehensive collection of the Pre-Socratics.
[2] However, Nietzsche, who argued that Democritus's legitimate works should be limited to The Great Diacosmos and On the Nature of the Cosmos, the only two considered genuine by the Byzantine Suda, felt Mullach was "a negligent blockhead".
[3] Mullach is best remembered for his Fragmenta Philosophorum Graecorum (Fragments of the Greek Philosophers), published by the Didots at Paris between 1860 and 1881.
