Autor

Friedrich Max Muller, commonly known as F. Max Muller (1823-1900), was a German-British scholar of comparative religion and philology. He is best known for his work on the translation and interpretation of ancient texts, including the Vedas and The Dhammapada. Muller studied at the University of Berlin, where he was influenced by the philosopher Friedrich Schleiermacher and the linguist Franz Bopp. He later moved to England and became a professor of comparative philology at Oxford University, where he taught for over thirty years. Muller's work on The Dhammapada was part of a larger project to translate the sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, and other religions into English. His translation of The Dhammapada is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and accurate versions of the text. Muller was a prolific author and published numerous works on comparative religion, mythology, and language. He was also a prominent member of the Royal Asiatic Society and played an important role in the development of religious studies as a field of academic inquiry.
