Hermann Sauppe

Hermann Sauppe (9 December 1809 – 15 September 1893) was a German classical philologist and epigraphist born in Weesenstein, near Dresden.

In 1832 he earned his doctorate from the University of Leipzig, where he was a student of Gottfried Hermann (1772–1848), who was a profound influence to Sauppe's career.

Beginning in 1833, he taught classes at a secondary school in Zurich, where in 1838 he became an associate professor at the university.

Among his numerous writings were "Epistola critica ad Godofredum Hermannum" (Critical epistle to Gottfried Hermann, 1841) and "Oratores Attici" (1838–50).

The latter work being a collection of fragmentary speeches and tracts by various Attica orators (co-edited with Johann Georg Baiter, 1801–1887).
