Christian Cornelius Jensen Explained
Christian Cornelius Jensen (20 July 1883 in Archsum auf Sylt - 18 September 1940 in Berlin) was a German classical philologist and papyrologist. His father, Christian Jensen (1857–1936), was a local historian and teacher.
He studied classical philology at the universities of Marburg and Kiel, where he was influenced by the work of Siegfried Sudhaus.[1] He worked as a gymnasium teacher in Kiel and Wandsbek, and in 1910 obtained his habilitation for classical philology at the University of Marburg.[2]
In 1912, he became an associate professor at the University of Königsberg, and during the following year, attained a full professorship at the University of Jena. In 1917 he returned as a professor to Königsberg, and later on in his career, worked as a philology professor at the universities of Kiel (from 1921), Bonn (from 1926) and Berlin (from 1937).[3]
