German classical scholars . KARL GOTTLOB ZUMPT (1792-1894), who was educated at Heidelberg and Berlin, was from 1812 to 1827 a schoolmaster in Berlin, and in 1827 became professor of Latin literature at the university . His chief work was his Lateinische Grancmatik (1818), which stood as a standard work until superseded by Madvig's in 1844 . He edited Quintilian's Institutio oratoria (1831), Cicero's Verrines and De officiis (1837), and Curtius . Otherwise he devoted himself mainly to Roman history, publishing Annales veterum regnorum et populorum (3rd ed . 1862), a work in chronology down to A.D . 476, and other antiquarian studies . His nephew, AUGUST WILHELM ZUMPT (1815–1877), studied in Berlin, and in 1851 became professor in the Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium . He is known chiefly in connexion with Latin epigraphy, his papers on which (collected in Commentationes epigraphicae, 2 vols., 1850—54) brought him into conflict with Mommsen in connexion with the preparation of the Corpus inscriptionum Latinarum, a scheme for which, drawn up by Mommsen, was approved in 1847 . His works include Monumentum Ancyranum (with Franck, 1847) and De monumento Ancyrano supplendo (1869); Studia Romana (1859); Das Kriminalrecht der rom . Republik (1865–69); Der Kriminalprozess der rom . Republik (1871); editions of Namatianus (1840), Cicero's Pro Murena (1859) and De lege agraria (1861) .
