Friedrich Christian Leonhard Bartholomae (21 January 1855 – 9 August 1925) was a German linguist, philologist, and scholar of the Iranian languages. He is best known as the namesake of Bartholomae's law, an early Proto-Indo-European sound law affecting the Indo-Iranian language family.[1][2]
Biography
Bartholomae was born in Forst ob Limmersdorf , then a part of the Kingdom of Bavaria, on 21 January 1855 to a forester father.[1] Initially educated in Bayreuth, he began studying classical languages at Munich University and Erlangen University, including under Friedrich von Spiegel.[1] Afterward, he studied at the University of Leipzig, focusing on Sanskrit and comparative philology.[1] He achieved his habilitation from the University of Halle[2] in 1879, where five years later he was appointed as a professor.[1] The following year, he left for the University of Münster,[2] before being appointed to a full professorship at the University of Gießen.[1][2] During his time there, he developed and published his work on what would later be known as Bartholomae's law, a sound problem in Proto-Indo-European.[1] He worked at the University of Gießen until 1909, when he was appointed the successor of his long-time mentor Heinrich Hübschmann at the University of Strasbourg. However, the same year, he left his appointment yet again to teach at Heidelberg University, where he taught comparative philology and Sanskrit until he retired in 1924.[1]
Bartholomae died on the East Frisian Island of Langeoog on 9 August 1925.[1][2]
