Hommel, Charles Frederick
, a lawyer, philologer,
and historian of Leipsic, was born in 1722. He published
his first work in 1743, which was a tract in 4to. 1. “De
Legum civilium et naturalium Natura.” 2. “Oblectamenta Juris Feudalis, sive Grammaticaj Observationes jus
rei clientelaris, et antiquitates Germanicas, varie illustrantes,” 1755. This was also in quarto, and tends, as well
as his other works, to prove the pleasing qualities and the
acuteness of his mind. 3. “Literatura Juris,” 1761, 8vo.
4. “Jurisprudentia numismatibus illustrata, necnon sigillis, gemmis, aliisque picturis vetustis varie exornata,” 1763,
8vo. 5. “Corpus juris civilis, cum notis variorum,” 1768,
8vo. 6. “Palingenesia librorum juris veterum,” &c.
1768, 3 vols. 8vo. He published some smaller tracts, but
these are the most important. Hommel died in 1781. 2
