From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Julius Theodor Julius Friedländer (June 25, 1813, Berlin - April 4, 1884, Berlin) was a German numismatist.

After studying at the universities of Bonn and Berlin, and traveling in Italy (1838-39), he obtained a position at the Königliche Sammlung der Antiken-Münzen in Berlin (1840). In 1868 he became director of the numismatic section of the Berlin Museum. In 1872 he was elected a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences.

From his literary remains Rudolf Weil published Repertorium zur Antiken Numismatik, a supplement to Mionnet's Description des Médailles Antiques", Berlin, 1885.

Friedländer's entire family embraced Christianity in 1820.
