Johann Heinrich Christian Schubart (28 February 1800, Marburg – 1 May 1885, Kassel) was a German classical philologist and librarian.
He obtained his doctorate in Marburg with the dissertation thesis De Hyperboreis, and for several years worked as a private tutor for various families of nobility in Württemberg and Austria.
In 1834 he was co-founder of the Verein für hessische Geschichte und Landeskunde (Association for Hessian history and geography), of which he was also an editor of its journal.
[1][2] He is best remembered for his studies of Pausanias, and with Ernst Christian Walz, he published a three-volume edition on the ancient Greek geographer, titled Pausaniae Descriptio Graeciae (1838–39).
Later on, he published a smaller version (2 volumes, 1854–55) and also an edition that was translated into German as Beschreibung von Griechenland (1857–63).
