Despre autor
Jacob Grimm (1785–1863) was a German philologist, jurist, and mythologist, most notably recognized for his collaboration with his brother Wilhelm in the collection of folklore. Jacob, the elder of the storied Grimm brothers, was born on January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Hesse-Kassel. He studied law at the University of Marburg, where he developed a fervent interest in history and philology, which would later drive his scholarly endeavours. Together with his brother, Jacob compiled 'Grimms' Fairy Tales' (originally 'Kinder- und Hausmärchen'), an anthology that became a seminal work in the world of folklore and storytelling. This collection, first published in 1812, has left an indelible mark on Western literature and has been translated into numerous languages, enchanting generations of children and adults alike. His works were instrumental in developing the literary genre known as fairy tales, a form characterized by moral lessons, fantastical elements, and captivating narrative techniques. Beyond his contributions to folklore, Jacob Grimm was a key figure in the development of Germanic linguistics and was one of the founding fathers of German studies. His work in linguistics is reflected in 'Deutsche Grammatik' (German Grammar), a comprehensive study that laid the groundwork for the systematic study of Germanic languages. Grimm's law, a principle describing the sound shifts in the development of Proto-Indo-European languages, also bears his name. Jacob Grimm's influence extends into various academic fields, evidencing the profound interdisciplinary impact of his and his brother's collective efforts in cultural and linguistic studies.
