Karl Vossler

Karl Vossler (6 September 1872 – 19 September 1949) was a German linguist and scholar, and a leading romance philologist.

[1] Vossler was known for his interest in Italian thought, and as a follower of Benedetto Croce.

He declared his support of the German military by signing the Manifesto of the Ninety-Three in 1914.

However, he opposed the Nazi government, and supported many Jewish intellectuals at that time.

From 1911 onward, he taught classes at the University of Munich.
