Christoph Wilhelm Mitscherlich (20 October 1760, in Weissensee (Thuringia) – 6 January 1854, in Göttingen) was a German classical scholar. He wrote several books on ancient Greek literature. He is best remembered for his edition of the Odes and Epodes by the Roman poet Horace.[1]
From 1779 he studied at the University of Göttingen as a pupil of Christian Gottlob Heyne. In 1785 he became an associate professor at Göttingen, where he also worked in the university library. In 1794 he attained a full professorship at the university,[1] and in 1816, 1823/1824 and 1829/1830, he served as vice-rector.[2]
