Oskar Braun
Oskar Braun (1862-1931) was a Syriac specialist and ordained Catholic priest. He was born in Dillingen an der Donau in 1862 and was ordained as a priest in 1885, becoming chaplain at Santa Maria dell’Anima. He studied languages with Ignazio Guidi while in Rome, and obtained a doctoral degree from the University of Munich in 1890. He worked as a professor of Semitic languages at the University of Würzburg from 1894, and of patristics from 1907 until his retirement in 1927.[1] His work Ausgewählte Akten Persischer Märtyrer ("Selected Acts of Persian Martyrs"), published in 1915,[2] is still cited by scholars today. His Timothei Patriarchae I Epistulae, vol. 1, an edition and translation of Timothy I's letters, also remains current and was reprinted in 2009.[3]
