For the Danish Colonel Max Müller, see
Second War of Schleswig. For the Catholic philosopher see
Max Müller (Catholic intellectual). Friedrich Max Müller (
December 6,
1823 –
October 28,
1900), more commonly known as Max Müller, was a
German philologist and
Orientalist, one of the founders of
Indian studies, who virtually created the discipline of
comparative religion. Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of
Indology, a discipline he introduced to the British reading public, and the
Sacred Books of the East, a massive, 50-volume set of English translations prepared under his direction, stands as an enduring monument to Victorian scholarship.
