 Despite these significant shortcomings in the details of Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics, it at least had the advantages over Herder’s and Schlegel’s versions of the discipline of being consolidated, systematic, and somewhat comprehensive. Schleiermacher’s pupil August Boeckh, an eminent classical philologist, subsequently developed a largely faithful and even more systematic re-articulation of Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics in lectures that he delivered during the period 1809–1866 and which were eventually published posthumously as his Encyclopedia and Methodology of the Philological Sciences (1877). (Boeckh’s only major departure from Schleiermacher was his devotion of a new part of the discipline to genre, very much in the spirit of Herder and Schlegel.) Through the combined influence of Schleiermacher’s and Boeckh’s presentations of it, Schleiermacher’s hermeneutics achieved something very much like the status of the official hermeneutical methodology of nineteenth-century classical and biblical scholarship.
