Eberhard SchraderEberhard Schrader (January 7, 1836 - July 4, 1908), was a German orientalist. He was born at Braunschweig, and educated at Gttingen under Ewald. In 1858 he won a university prize for a treatise on the Ethiopian languages, and in 1863 became professor of theology at the University of Zrich. Subsequently he occupied chairs at Giessen (1870) and Jena (1873), and finally became professor of Oriental languages at the Friedrich Wilhelm University, Berlin. Though he turned first to biblical research, his chief achievements were in the field of Assyriology, in which he was a pioneer in Germany and acquired an international reputation. His publications include: - Studien zur Kritik und Erklrung der biblischen Urgeschichte (1863)
- the 8th edition of De Wette's Einleitung in das Alte Testament (1869)
- Die assyr.-babyl. Keilinschriften (1872)
- Die Keilinschriften und das Alt. Test. (1872; 3rd ed. by Zimmern and Winckler, 1901-1902)
- Keilinschriften und Geschichtsforschung (1878)
- Die Hllenfahrt der Istar (text, trans., notes, 1874)
- Zur Frage nach dem Ursprung der altbabylonischen Kultur (1884)
- in conjunction with other scholars, Keilinschriftliche Bibliothek (1877).
