From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Friedrich Nagelsbach (March 28, 1806 - April 21, 1859), was a German classical scholar.

Nagelsbach was born at Wöhrd near Nuremberg. After studying at Erlangen and Berlin, he accepted in 1827 an appointment at the Nuremberg gymnasium, and was professor of classics at Erlangen from 1842 until his death. Nagelsbach is chiefly known for his excellent Lateinische Stilistik (1846; 9th ed. by Ivan Müller, 1905). Two other important works by him are Die Homerische Theologie (1840; 3rd ed. by G. Autenrieth, 1886) and Die Nachhomerische Theologie (1857).
