Gavriil Munteanu

Gavriil Munteanu (February 1812 – December 17/29, 1869) was a Romanian scientist and translator.

He was born in Vingard, Principality of Transylvania, and studied philosophy and law at the University of Cluj.

Munteanu was co-author of an extensive German–Romanian dictionary (using preliminary work by Andreas Isser) and author of a Romanian grammar.

He translated Tacitus, Suetonius, and Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther into Romanian.

He died in Brașov in 1869,[citation needed] and is buried in the city’s Groaveri cemetery.
