Anton Führer

Anton Führer (30 September 1854 – 20 July 1929). was a German classicist who specialised in the language of Boeotia in Ancient Greece. He completed his dissertation De dialecto Boeotica at the University of Göttingen in 1876. As noted by Harry Falk (Indologist), he is not to be confused with Alois Anton Führer, the Indologist who studied Sanskrit at the University of Würzburg and had a controversial career in India. He was named an honorary citizen of the city of Rheine, and wrote a book about the city's history.
