	Theodor Benfey - LoveToKnow 1911
		THEODOR BENFEY (1809-1881), German philologist, son of a Jewish trader at Norten, near Göttingen, was born on the 28th of January 1809.
		Although originally designed for the medical profession, his taste for philology was awakened by a careful instruction in Hebrew which he received from his father.
		All these works had been produced under the pressure of poverty, the government, whether from parsimony or from prejudice against a Jew, refusing to make any substantial addition to his small salary as extra-professor at the university.

		Theodor Benfey (January 28, 1809 - June 26, 1881), German philologist was the son of a Jewish trader at Nörten, near Göttingen.
		Although originally destined for the medical profession, his taste for philology was awakened by a careful instruction in Hebrew which he received from his father.
		At length, in 1862, the growing appreciation of foreign scholars shamed it into making him an ordinary professor, and in 1866 Benfey published the laborious work by which he is on the whole best known, his great Sanskrit-English Dictionary.

	The Myth of the Birth of the Hero: I. Introduction
		The explanation by original community, first applied by Theodor Benfey to the widely distributed parallel forms of folklore and fairy tales
		Originating in a favorable locality (India), these tales were first accepted by the primarily related (Indo-Germanic) peoples, then continued to grow while retaining the common primary traits, and ultimately radiated over the entire earth.
		The modern theory of migration and borrowing can be readily shown to be merely a modification of Benfey's theory, necessitated by newly discovered and irreconcilable material.

	Iranica.com - AUSTRIA
		As a result, Old and Middle Iranian (and sometimes New Eastern Iranian too) became (and remain today) mostly the domain of Indo-Europeanists, since the Old Iranian languages constitute one of the branches of Indo-European; whereas Persian was subsumed under Oriental studies along with Semitic languages and Turkic.
		The movement manifested itself in the growing suspicion of local traditions, in the endeavor to distinguish (and in certain cases to over-distinguish) different layers in a building or a text, and in the predilection for the oldest monuments rather than for younger ones, even when the latter were better preserved or more attractive.

	Biographies of Sir William M. Ramsay -- by W. Ward Gasque
		During the course of his second year at Oxford, he was enabled by his uncle to spend a time studying Sanskrit at the University of Goettingen, Germany, under the great scholar, Theodor Benfey.
		Then for the first time, under the tuition of Professor Theodor Benfey, I came into close relations with a great scholar of the modern type, and gained some insights into modern methods of literary investigation; and my thoughts have ever since turned towards the border lands between European and Asiatic civilization.
		Benfey was a vivifying wind, to breathe life into dry bones, for he showed scholarship as discovery and not as a rehearsing of wise opinions.
