Johann Christian Gottlieb Ernesti (1756 in Arnstadt, Thuringia – 5 June 1802 in Kahnsdorf, near Leipzig), was German classical scholar.
From 1774 to 1777 he studied philosophy, philology and theology at the University of Leipzig, where he was a student of his uncle, Johann August Ernesti. In 1782, he was made an associate professor of philosophy at Leipzig; and following the death of his cousin August Wilhelm Ernesti in 1801, was professor of rhetoric for five months.[1][2] At the university he gave lectures on exegesis of the New Testament and on Greek and Roman writers.[3]
