GEBHARDT, OSKAR LEOPOLD von. - Protestant theologian, b. 22 June 1844 at Wesenberg (Estonia), d. 9 May 1906 at Leipzig. After completing his theological studies (1862-70), he specialized in Greek paleography and from 1875 devoted himself to librarianship. Librarian of the University of Leipzig (1893), he also held there the chair of bibliography and literature. On his scholarly travels in Italy, France, England and Russia, he discovered precious manuscripts, especially concerning Holy Scripture. With tireless and accurate work he published valuable studies on the Bible and on patristics, some in collaboration with his friend A. Harnack in the series Texte und Untersuchungen, begun in 1888.
His works and the principal editions he prepared are: Graecus Venetus (Leipzig 1875); Patrum apostolicorum opera (3 fasc., ibid. 1875-77, with A. Harnack and Th. Zahn); Evangeliorum codex Graecus purpureus Rossanensis (ibid. 1880, with A. Harnack); Die Evangelien des Mt. u. Mc. (ibid. 1883); The miniatures of the Ashburnham Pentateuch (London 1883); Der Arethus Codex Par. G. 452 (Leipzig 1883); Evangelium und Apokalyptus des Petrus (ibid. 1895); Psalmus Salomos (ibid. 1895); Acta martyrum selecta (ibid. 1902); Die lateinische Übersetzung der Acta Pauli et Theclax (ibid. 1902).
