Gustav Seyffarth (13 July 1796{{spaced ndash}}17 November 1885) was a German-American Egyptologist, born in Uebigau. He studied theology and philology at the University of Leipzig, obtaing his doctorate in 1823 with the thesis "De sonis literarum graecarum tum genuis tum adoptivis". He became a professor of philosophy at Leipzig in 1825 and a professor of archæology in 1830 (a position he held until 1855).[1] From 1826 to 1829 he visited the principal museums of Germany, France, England, and the Netherlands and collected copies of Egyptian inscriptions and Coptic manuscripts. In 1840, on his initiative, a sarcophagus was purchased that was to be become the centerpiece of the future Ägyptisches Museum der Universität Leipzig.[2] In 1856 he came to America and became a professor of church history and archæology at Concordia College, St. Louis. From 1859 he resided in New York City, where he conducted research at the Astor Library.[1] Seyffarth was an earnest student of Egyptology, but wrongly held that the hieroglyphic characters, with scarcely an exception, were pure phonograms. His method of deciphering hieroglyphics was fundamentally different to that of Jean-François Champollion — with Seyfart asserting that the hieroglyphs designated the consonant elements of a symbol and Champollion teaching that the hieroglyphs were symbols standing for definite letters of the alphabet.[3] Selected works
