CHRISTIAN FRIEDRICH, was born at Kanstadt, in Württemberg, on the 28th of October 1742. He began his career as an academical teacher in 1762, at his native University of Tübingen. He subsequently visited Holland, England, and France, and on his return in 1775 he was elevated to the chair of philosophy in Tübingen. He likewise lectured on oriental languages, of which he had an accurate knowledge, was chosen ephorus of the theological faculty in 1777, and some years later he was made chancellor of the university. Schnurrer lost, however, his academical position by his freedom in criticising the proposed constitution of Württemberg. He was a man of great learning, and wrote pretty extensively on historical and theological subjects, notwithstanding his numerous engagements. He took an active share in the Tübinger Literarische Nachrichten, and published a Bibliotheca Arabica, which evinced great acquaintance with his subject. His Life was written by Weber, Kanstadt, 1823.
