BUDDE, KARL. - Protestant theologian, b. 23 April 1850 at Bensberg (Cologne); in 1873 he became a Privatdozent, in 1879 extraordinary professor for the Old Testament at Bonn, and in 1889 ordinary professor at Strasbourg. In 1900 he was transferred to Marburg, where, having retired in 1921, he died on 29 January 1935. He is one of the principal representatives of the early Wellhausen school, whose theories he was the first to popularize in his Biblische Urgeschichte (Giessen 1883).

All his works champion the most radical documentary criticism: Die Bücher der Richter und Samuel (Giessen 1890); Das Buch Hiob (Göttingen 1896, 2nd ed., ibid. 1913); Buch der Richter (Freiburg im Breisgau 1897); Das Hohelied erklärt. Die Klagelieder erklärt (Freiburg, Leipzig, Tübingen 1898); Religion des Volkes Israel (Giessen 1900, 2nd ed., ibid. 1912); Altersrealistische Religion; Ebed-Jahvelieder (ibid. 1900); Die Bücher Samuel (Tübingen 1902); Geschichte der althebräischen Literatur (2nd ed., Leipzig 1909); a list of all B.'s works is found in K. B.'s Schrifttum bis zu seinem 80. Geburtstag am 13 apr. 1930, in Beihefte zur Zeitschr. f. d. alttest. Wissenschaft, 54 (1930).
