Biography
He graduated from the universities of Heidelberg and Berlin.
In the years 1812-1821, Karl Gottlob Zumpt was approved as a professor at the Friedrichwerder Gymnasium in Berlin, taught ancient languages. In 1825 he became a professor at the Joachimstal Grammar School in the same city, since 1826 he taught history at the Berlin Military Academy in parallel. In 1826, he abandoned his professorship at the University of Kiel. In 1827, he was appointed extraordinary professor of classical philology at the University of Berlin. In 1836 he became an ordinary professor at this educational institution, a year earlier, in 1835, he became a permanent member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences [5] .
He published a Latin grammar (the first edition was published in 1818, the last - in 1865), which was positively appreciated by contemporaries and soon became widely known not only throughout Germany, but also abroad ( D.P. Popov's Russian translation was published 1835). Zumpt's textbook on ancient history, presented in the form of chronological tables (“Annales veterum regnorum et populorum, imprimis Romanorum”, 1st edition was published in 1819) was also very famous.
At the university, Karl Gottlob Zumpt mainly lectured on Roman antiquities and wrote many articles on this subject, mainly in the Notes of the Berlin Academy (for example, on the vote in the Centurian comitia, 1837; on the trial of the centumvirs in Rome, 1838; on the Roman horsemen, 1840; on the population and population growth in antiquity, 1841; on the trial for bribes, 1845-1847).
Other well-known articles by Zumpt: on the arrangement of the Roman house (Berlin, 1844), on the Roman religion (Berlin, 1845), on the personal freedom of a Roman citizen and its legal guarantees (Darmstadt, 1846). Only one work of Zumpt belongs to the field of Greek antiquities - about philosophical schools in Athens (1843). Of the Roman writers, Zumpt was primarily concerned with Quintus Curtius Rufus (publication of his works with critical commentary, Braunschweig, 1849) and Cicero (edition Verrina, Berlin, 1831).
