GEORG BENEDIKT See also:WINER (1789-1858) , See also:German See also:Protestant theologian, was See also:born at See also:Leipzig on the 13th of See also:April 1789 . He studied See also:theology at Leipzig, where eventually (1832) he became See also:professor ordinarius . From 1824 to 1830 he edited with J . G . V . See also:Engelhardt the Neues kritisches See also:Journal der theologischen Literatur, and alone from 1826 to 1832 the Zeitschrift See also:fur wissenschaftliche Theologie . He is well known as the author of a Grammatik See also:des neutestamentlichen Sprachidioms (1821, 8th ed. revised by P . W . Schmiedel, 1894 ff.), of which several See also:translations have appeared, the latest being by W . F . See also:Moulton (187o, 3rd ed . 1882) . He died on the 12th of May 1858 . His other See also:works include: Komparative Darstellung des Lehrbegriffes der verschiedenen christlichen Kirchenparteien (1824; 4th ed. by P . See also:Ewald, 1882; Eng. trans . 1873), Biblisches Realworterbuch (1820; 3rd ed . 1847-1848, 2 vols.), Grammatik des biblischen and targumischen Chaldaismus (1824; 3rd ed. by B . See also:Fischer, Chaldaische Grammatik fur Bibel and See also:Talmud, 1882; En g. trans . 1845) and a useful Handbuch der theologischen Literatur (182o; 3rd ed . 1838-184o, 2 vols.; supplement, 1842) . Cf . W . See also:Schmidt, " Zum Geddchtnis Dr G . B . Winers," in the Beitrage zur sacizsischen Kirchengeschichte . See also:WINE-TABLE, a See also:late 18th-See also:century See also:device for facilitating after-See also:dinner drinking—the cabinetmakers called it a " See also:Gentle-See also:man's Social Table." It was always narrow and of semicircular or horseshoe See also:form, and the guests sat See also:round the See also:outer circumference . In the earlier and simpler shapes See also:metal See also:wells for bottles and See also:ice were sunk in the See also:surface of the table; they were fitted with See also:brass lids . In later and more elaborate examples the tables were fitted with a revolving wine-See also:carriage, See also:bottle-holder or See also:tray working upon a balanced See also:arm which enabled the bottles to be passed to any See also:guest without shaking . The See also:side opposite the guests was often fitted with a network bag . It has been conjectured that this bag was intended to hold biscuits, but it is much more likely that its See also:function was to prevent glasses and bottles which might be upset from falling to the See also:floor . That the wine-table might be See also:drawn up to the See also:fire in See also:cold See also:weather without inconvenience from the See also:heat it was fitted with curtains hung upon a brass See also:frame and See also:running upon rings . Sometimes the table was accompanied by a circular bottle-stand supported on a See also:tripod into which the bottles were deeply sunk to preserve them from the heat of the fire . Yet another form was circular with a socket in the centre for the bottle . Wine-tables followed the See also:fashion of other tables and were often irtlaid with See also:wood or brass . They are now exceedingly scarce . |
