About the author
Started by bookseller and printer Benedictus Gotthelf Teubner, the firm grew from a Leipzig printing operation into an important German publishing house. Sources agree that it was founded in 1811, and that publishing was added to the business in the following years as the company expanded its reach in academic and technical fields.
B. G. Teubner became especially famous for serious scholarly works, including mathematics, science, engineering, and classical studies. Its name is closely associated with the Bibliotheca Teubneriana, the long-running series of critical editions of Greek and Latin authors that became a standard resource for classicists.
Because this is a firm rather than an individual author, a conventional personal biography is a little different here: its story is really the story of a publishing tradition. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, the Teubner name came to stand for careful editing, durable academic publishing, and a strong connection to Leipzig’s book culture.
