Friedrich Karl Hertlein (1825–1882) was a German classical scholar who produced the Teubner editions of the Emperor Julian's works. His editions of Julian's orations, letters, and philosophical writings provided the first modern critical texts of this fascinating 4th-century emperor-philosopher, whose attempt to restore traditional Roman religion earned him the epithet "the Apostate."
Hertlein's Teubner edition of Julian, published in two volumes (1875–1876), established the critical text of Julian's surviving works based on systematic manuscript collation. The Budé edition by J. Bidez and others (1924–1964) has since provided a more thorough treatment of the manuscript tradition, but Hertlein's text remains the basis on which later editions were built.
