(University of G ö ttingen) Who was Paul de Lagarde? Researchers from Egyptology and Coptic Studies at the University of G ö ttingen, with the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish Studies in Potsdam (MMZ), worked on a historical re-assessment of the life and work of the G ö ttingen Orientalist (1827-1891). The researchers focussed on the political and ideological aspects of the scholar's œ uvre, in particular on Lagarde's anti-Semitism.
