RICHARD FRANÇOIS PHILIPPE, a French philologist, born at Strassburg in 1729, was in military service in the Seven-Years' War, but in 1760 devoted himself to philological studies. He was an especial student of the Greek poets and his editions of them are among the very best. His editions of the Latin poets are less valuable. He died in Strassburg, June 12, 1803.
