Hirth e sua moglie nel 1872

Friedrich Hirth (Tonna, 16 aprile 1845 – Monaco di Baviera, 10 gennaio 1927) è stato un sinologo tedesco.

Biografia

Fu educato alle università di Lipsia, Berlino e Greifswald (dottorato, 1869). Lavorò nel servizio doganale marittimo cinese dal 1870 al 1897. Nel 1902, il professor Hirth fu nominato professore di cinese alla Columbia University (New York City).

Prima della seconda guerra mondiale, una collezione di manoscritti cinesi e libri stampati realizzati da lui era nella Biblioteca di Stato di Berlino, e un'altra di porcellane di notevole importanza storica nel Museo di Gotha; gran parte della collezione che si trovava nella Biblioteca di Stato di Berlino è ora e a Cracovia.
