    Fr. Franz Xaver Kugler


    1862-1929

    Franz Xaver Kugler was a German chemist, mathematician, Assyriologist, and Jesuit priest. In
    1885, he earned a Ph.D. in chemistry and entered the Jesuits the following year. He had been
    ordained as a priest by 1893. Four years later at the age of 35, he became a professor of
    Mathematics at Ignatius-College in Valkenburg in the Netherlands.

    He is a Jesuit priest noted for his studies on cuneiform tablets & Babylonian and Hebrew
    astronomy, as well as mythology and chronology. Kugler wrote a short book entitled The
    Sybilline Battle of the Stars and Phaeton seen as Natural History in 1927. He argued that
    Phaeton had been a very bright celestial object, making use of ancient sources.

    Kugler wrote a series of books about Babylonian astronomy in German. However, his full work
    on Babylonian astronomy was never completed. Only three volumes out of a planned five were
    published. Franz Xaver Kugler died at January 25 1929 in Lucerne, Swizerland.
