Johann Traugott Leberecht Danz

Johann Traugott Leberecht Danz (31 May 1769 – 15 May 1851) was a German Lutheran theologian and church historian born in Weimar.

In 1791 he continued his studies at the University of Göttingen, and afterwards returned to Weimar as a secondary school teacher.

In 1809 he received his habilitation at Jena, and during the following year became an associate professor.

Among his efforts were editions of Plautus (1806–9, 3 parts) and Aeschylus (1805–8, 2 parts), as well as a new edition of Johann Georg Walch's Bibliotheca patristica.

He also published a two-volume textbook of church history (1816–26), and was editor of Johann Gottfried Herder's Ansichten des klassischen Alterthums (Views of Classical Antiquity 1805–6).
