Some Famous People called Heinrich Morf
Heinrich Morf
Heinrich Morf (23 October 1854, in Münchenbuchsee – 23 January 1921, in Thun) was a Swiss linguist and literary historian.
He studied Indo-Germanic and classical philology at the University of Zürich (1873–75) and Romance philology at the University of Strasbourg (1875–77), receiving his doctorate in 1877 with the dissertation Die Wortstellung im altfranzösischen Rolandslied. Following graduation, he continued his education in Spain (1877/78) and Paris (1878/79), where he was a student of Gaston Paris. In 1879 he was named an associate professor of Romance philology at the University of Bern. Later on, he served as a professor at the University of Zürich (from 1889; successor to Heinrich Breitinger), the Akademie für Sozial- und Handelswissenschaft in Frankfurt (from 1901; rector in 1901–03) and the University of Berlin (from 1910) as successor to Adolf Tobler.
He was a catalyst towards the creation of the Glossaire des patois de la Suisse romande ("Glossary of the patois of French-speaking Switzerland"), an institution founded by Louis Gauchat and others. In 1914 he was one of the subscribers to the so-called "Manifesto of the Ninety-Three".
