  Joseph Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall (June 9, 1774–November 23, 1856) was an Austrian orientalist.
Born Joseph von Hammer in Graz, Styria, he received his early education mainly in Vienna.
Entering the diplomatic service in 1796, he was appointed in 1799 to a position in the Austrian embassy in Constantinople, and in this capacity he took part in the expedition under Admiral Sir William Sidney Smith and General Sir John Hely-Hutchinson against the French.

In 1796 he entered the Austrian diplomatic service as secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs, was appointed interpreter to the internuncio at Constantinople in 1799 and was sent from there to Egypt where he took part in as secretary in the campaign of the English and Turks against the French.

Hammer's studies were nearly all concerned with literature and history, which he did not regard as distinct fields, because, in his view, the culture, morality, and religion of a nation were most faithfully mirrored in its poetry.
Joseph von Hammer's contributions to oriental studies were extraordinary, not only through their sheer volume, but also because he was often the first to deal with the subjects on which he wrote so extensively.

 The Enemy Ace Biography
Because of his upbringing as a gentleman, Hans von Hammer was ingrained with a strong code of personal honor, which was impressed upon him by his father as more important than the sum total of all his lessons in arms and defense.
Von Hammer spent much of his free time wandering the nearby Black Forest, often in the company of a silent, wild, fl wolf that von Hammer considered a kindred spirit and his only true friend.
Von Hammer was perhaps the finest pilot of his time, with uncanny reflexes and instincts, and an almost inhuman ability to anticipate the actions of his adversaries in the air.

Von Hanimer-Purgstall did for Germany the same work that Sir William Jones (q.v.) did for England and Silvestre de Sacy for France.
He was, like his younger but greater English contemporary, Edward William Lane, with whom he came into friendly conflict on the subject of the origin of The Thousand and One Nights, an assiduous worker, and in spite of many faults did more for oriental studies than most of his critics put together.
Von Hammers principal work is his Geschichte des osmanischen Reiches (10 vols~, Pesth, 1827-1835).

 Military order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One significant feature of the military orders is that clerical brothers could be, and indeed often were, subordinate to non-ordained brethren.
Joseph von Hammer in 1818 compared the Christian military orders, in particular the Templars, with certain Islamic models such as the shiite sect of Assassins.
In 1820 Jose Antonio Conde has suggested they were modelled on the ribat, a fortified religious institution which brought together a religious way of life with fighting the enemies of Islam.

Most influental of these writers with a historical-religious purpose was Joseph von Hammer Purgstall, who in 1818 published a work called The Mystery of Baphomet Revealed.
Hammer wanted to discredit the Freemasons, and attacked the 'Templar masons' in order to undermine the whole movement.

His opening words, typically self-deprecatory: ‘[t]o write a general history of the Ottoman Empire is a foolhardy undertaking, and one that needs justification’, do not fill one with confidence.
A plain, linear approach, à la Hammer and his successors down to the Shaws, obviously will not work; accordingly, in The Ottoman Empire 1300–1650, his approach is largely topical.

His sources were almost exclusively two books by the German author Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall: Der Diwan von Mohammed Schemseddin Hafiz (Stuttgart and Tübingen, 1812-13) and Geschichte der schönen Redekünste Persiens (Vienna, 1818).
Since his command of the German language was imperfect, he occasionally mistranslated (e.g., rendering a declarative mode as an interrogative).
At least once he introduced an idea from von Hammer's commentary to eke out his translation.

Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall’s Historiography of Persian Literature and its Aftermath
Vinzenz Ritter von Rosenzweig-Schwannau (1791–1865), August Graf von Platen (1796–1835) and Friedrich von Bodenstedt (1819–1892) represent not only three different approaches to Persian studies, but also were different characters, with different biographies, which in their turn, reflect strands and attitudes of their respective societies or the social strata they belonged to.
Among scholars devoted to Iranian studies, Joseph Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall is, first of all, famous as the person who inspired Goethe to his West-östlicher Divan.

Isn’t it strange that it was introduced in Europe by Friedrich Rucker, a disciple of Joseph Von Hammer, who studied the symbolism of Ghazal and drank deep at the spiritual fountainhead, of its symbolism and immortalized Rumi through his translations.
He even surpassed his master, Von Hammer, “by the greater accuracy of his scholarship, his finer and deeper insight, and his unrivalled lower of sympathetically reproducing in German the spirit of oriental poetry, according to Hastie.
His rendering of certain Ghazals of Rumi in 1879 and 1822 are masterpieces of their kind in the fineness and delicacy of their form and a good number of orientalists believe that they have never been equalled by similar subsequent attempts.

In 1812/13 the Austrian diplomat and orientalist Joseph Baron von Hammer-Purgstall (1774-1856) published his German translations of the collected works of the classical Persian poet Hafis (1325-1389).
As a poet he produced over 700 poems which are considered highlights of Persian literature.
These translations immediately inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to write the West-östlicher Divan (1819), a literary response to Hafis and the culture he represents.

While Goethe's first poetry cycle, the Römische Elegien, was strongly influenced by the writer's interest in classical antiquity, the Divan was stimulated by Goethe's discovery of a Divan by the Persian poet Hafis, whom he had read in the translation by Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall in 1814.
In an interdisciplinary context and for comparatists, Goethe's ideas on the translatibility of texts (which he took for granted) and cultures will still provide a welcome stimulus for further discussion.
Most of von Hammer's works also suggest a similar treatment of Oriental masterpieces.

In his six-volume 'A History of Ottoman Poetry’, published in the early twentieth century, the British Orientalist E.J.W.
