Heimann Hariton Tiktin (August 9, 1850 – March 13, 1936), born Heimann Tiktin, was a Silesian-born Romanian Jewish linguist and academic, one of the founders of modern Romanian linguistics. ==Biography== Born in Breslau (part of Prussia at the time), into a rabbinic family which took its name from the shtetl of Tyktin,〔''Jewish Encyclopedia''〕〔Mehr〕 he was himself destined to a rabbinic vocation, and received a classical education.〔Graur, p.69–70〕 At the age of 18, Tiktin moved to Iaşi, where he married Amalia Mayerhoffer one year later, becoming a Romanian citizen in the early 1870s.〔 After having taught himself Romanian,〔 Tiktin instructed courses in Latin, Ancient Greek and German in several of Iaşi's colleges (the Commercial School, the Alexandru cel Bun College, and the National Lyceum). He took active part in the cultural and scientific life of the city, and attended meeting of the highly influential ''Junimea'' circle.〔 He became a friend of the poet Mihai Eminescu, who acquainted him with Romanian lexicography, grammar, folklore, literature and history. Tiktin's interest in Romanian language would develop into a major scientific preoccupation.〔Tiktin, ''Festrede zum 80...''〕 He was also a friend of Nicolae Iorga and Gheorghe Kirileanu, being well acquainted with Titu Maiorescu, Grigore Tocilescu, Alexandru Philippide, A. C. Cuza, Ovid Densusianu, Alexandru Vlahuţă and Bogdan Petriceicu Hasdeu. Tiktin received his Ph.D. from the University of Leipzig in 1884, with the thesis ''Studies on Romanian Philology''. Beginning in 1889, he headed the linguistics section of the journal ''Albina''. In 1900 he converted to Christianity, taking the Christian name of ''Hariton''. In 1904, Tiktin was appointed as a lecturer at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Two years later he founded a seminary of Romanian Linguistics inside the University, one sponsored by the Romanian state; it was the first Romanian-language teaching unit outside Romania. He returned to Romania in the late 1910s, being elected honorary member of the Romanian Academy in 1919. Tiktin rejoined his daughter in Berlin during the late 1920s. He died there, but was buried in Iaşi. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heimann Hariton Tiktin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
