Ernst Willibald Emil Hübner (7 July 1834 – 21 February 1901) was a German classical scholar.
He was born at Düsseldorf, the son of the historical painter Julius Hübner (1806–1882).[1] After studying at Berlin and Bonn, he traveled extensively with a view to antiquarian and epigraphical researches.[2] The results of these travels were published in several important works: Inscriptiones Hispaniae Latinae (1869, supplement 1892), Inscriptiones Hispaniae Christianae (1871, supplement 1900); Inscriptiones Britanniae Latinae (1873), Inscriptiones Britanniae Christianae (1876); La Arqueologia de Espana (1888); Monumenta Linguae Ibericae (1893).[1]
Hübner also wrote two books for the classical student: Grundriss zu Vorlesungen über die römische Litteraturgeschichte (4th edition, 1878, edited, with large additions, by JEB Mayor as Bibliographical clue to Latin literature, 1875),[3] and Bibliographie der klassischen Alterthumswissenschaft (2nd edition, 1889). He was also author of Römische Epigraphik (2nd edition, 1892); Exempla Scripturae Epigraphicae Latinae (1885); and Römische Herrschaft in Westeuropa (1890).[1][4]
In 1870 Hübner was appointed professor of classical philology at the University of Berlin,[2] where he died.[1]
