Born near Hannover, Karl and his brother and collaborator Theodor both studied at the University of G?ttingen, but both left Germany in 1839, probably for political reasons. They moved to Paris, where Fragmenta was produced in partnership with the printerpublisher Ambroise Firmin-Didot. It covers histories which have been lost, but of which fragments survive in other works. Volume 4 comprises fragments from the beginning of the reign of Constantine in 306 CE, until the reign of the emperor Phocas, 602610 CE. Published in 1851, it includes the first modern edition of the surviving works of the Byzantine historian John of Antioch.Fragmena Praxagorae Atheniensis, Bemarchii Caesariensis, Eustathii Cappadocis, Eutychiani Cappadocis, Magni Carrheni, Eunapii Sardiani, Olympiodori Thebaei, Prisci Panitae, Malchi Philadelphensis, Capitonis Lycii, Candidi Isauri, Eustathii Epiphaniensis, Hesychii Milesii, Nonnosi, Petri Patricii, Anonymi, Menandri Ptotrectoris, Theophanis Byl³"
