Life
Bertrand Auerbach was born on 2 September 1856 in Paris, son of Sigismond Auerbach and Julie Borach.Шаблон:Sfn He attended the École normale supérieure at rue d'Ulm, Paris. His schoolmates included the future geographers Marcel Dubois and Paul Dupuy, and the future historians Georges Lacour-Gayet, Salomon Reinach and Gustave Lanson.Шаблон:Sfn As a student he was known for his gift in languages, with excellent German, good English and Greek, and a knowledge of Hebrew. He was interested in history at first, and his study of geography under Ernest Desjardins only concerned historical geography.Шаблон:Sfn He was taught by Paul Vidal de La Blache (1845–1918) who prepared the 3rd year students for their agrégation in history and geography.Шаблон:Sfn He does not seem to have been exposed to the teachings of Vidal de la Blache before then. He received his agrégation in history and geography in 1880.Шаблон:Sfn
Auerbach taught in secondary schools in Bourges, Laval, Belfort, Toulouse and then Lyon. In 1881 he applied for a travel grant and in 1882 asked to be allowed to study for a doctorate. In 1883 he was appointed lecturer in Ancient History at Caen, and in 1885 was funded to travel in Germany, where he studied the archives of Dresden.Шаблон:Sfn Auerbach taught at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Nancy from 1885 to 1926.Шаблон:Sfn In 1885 he was granted his master's degree in history and geography. At Nancy he became increasingly interested in geography, and his last historical work appeared in 1889.Шаблон:Sfn
In his 1887 thesis, La diplomatie française et la Cour de Saxe, 1648-1680, Auerbach described the conflicts between Prince Johann Georg's position as a key support of the "true religion" (Lutheranism) and his employment of Italians and Frenchmen, and construction of a theater and a "miniature Sistine chapel."Шаблон:Sfn Auerbach married Adèle Alice Hirsch (1866–1946) on 21 March 1888 in Paris.Шаблон:Sfn From January 1893 Auerbach was one of the first professors of geography in France.Шаблон:Sfn The Annales de Géographie was founded by Vidal de La Blache in 1891.Шаблон:Sfn For three decades Auerbach was part of the group associated with the Annales de Géographie. He published an article in the second volume, and submitted an article each year until 1907 under the headings of Alsace-Lorraine and Germany. He wrote about 600 reports, including about 50 on Alsace-Lorraine, with his last contribution in 1922.Шаблон:Sfn
In 1898 Auerbach published a lengthy study of the races and nationalities of Austria-Hungary.Шаблон:Sfn His book tried to define the "national spirit" of the peoples of Austria Hungary.Шаблон:Sfn He noted that Italian-speakers dominated the province of Trieste while the Slovenes were peasants who lived in the mountainous areas, but that did not show that the province should naturally belong to Italy. He stated that Austrian ethnographers had shown "everyday language did not match the mother language, and race did not match nationality." He concluded that conventional definitions of race and nationality were imprecise, did not help disentangle the complex identities in the region, and were not useful in confirming the political claims of groups of nationalists.Шаблон:Sfn
In the fall of 1910 Auerbachs's carefully prepared instructions to France's envoys to the imperial German diet at Ratisbon were the subject of heated discussions.Шаблон:Sfn
