Hermann Beckh (1875–1937)

Hermann Beckh (1875–1937) was a German Tibetologist, who also became in 1912 a member of the Anthroposophical Society. Although he studied law, he later took up the study of Indology, and Tibetology at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität at Kiel. In 1907, he received his doctorate at Humboldt-Universität at Berlin with a thesis on Kālidāsa’s poem Meghadūta. See Hermann Beckh, Die tibetische Übersetzung von Kālidāsas Meghadūta.

He taught as a private tutor of the Tibetan language until 1921 and worked cataloguing Tibetan manuscripts at the Staatsbibliothek in Berlin.
