Editing Wilhelm Siegmund Teuffel (section)

==Works==
Teuffel's most important work was his ''Geschichte der römischen Litteratur'' (1870); revisions by [[Ludwig Schwabe]], [[Wilhelm Kroll]] and [[Franz Skutsch]] carried this to a 6th–7th edition (1913–1920).{{Citation needed|date=April 2020}} 

An English translation of the 5th edition by George Charles Winter Warr was published in 1891–1892, as ''Teuffel's History of Roman Literature''. The [[Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition|''Encyclopædia Britannica'' Eleventh Edition]] described Teuffel's history as "written in an unattractive style" but "indispensable to the student" especially for its "bibliographical information",{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=672}} and Warr's translation is described in the 1996 ''[[Oxford Classical Dictionary]]'' as "still useful on details".

After the death of [[August Pauly]], the editor of the well-known ''[[Pauly-Wissowa|Realencyclopädie der classischen Altertumswissenschaft]]'', Teuffel, at first assisted by [[Ernst Christian Walz]], undertook the completion of the work, to which he also contributed numerous articles.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=672}}

He was also the author of 
*"Prolegomena zur Chronologie der horazischen Geschichte" (in ''Zeitschrift für die Altertumswissenschaft'', 1842)
*''Charakteristik des Horaz'' (Leipzig, 1842)
*''Horaz, eine litterar-historische Übersicht'' (Tübingen, 1843),

and of editions of 
*''[[The Clouds]]'' of [[Aristophanes]] (1856)
*''[[The Persians]]'' of [[Aeschylus]] (1866).

His ''Studien und Charakteristiken'' (1871; 2nd ed., 1889) contain valuable contributions to the history of Greek and Roman literature.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=673}}
