Freytag was born in Lüneburg. He studied philology and theology at the University of Göttingen, where from 1811 to 1813 he worked as a theological tutor. In the latter year he accepted an appointment as a sub-librarian at Königsberg. In 1815 he became a chaplain in the Prussian army, and in that capacity visited Paris.[1]
Freytag's principal work was the acclaimed Lexicon Arabico-Latinum (Halle, 1830–1837), an abridgment of which was published in 1837.[1][3] The lexicon was an improved and enlarged edition of an earlier work by Jacobus Golius.[2][4] Other significant writings by Freytag include:
Selecta ex Historia Halebi, 1819; selections of Ibn al-Adim's history of Aleppo.
Hamasae Carmina cum Tebrisii scholiis integris by Abu Tammam, 1828–1852 – edition of Arabic songs (2 volumes).
Darstellung der arabischen Verskunst, 1830 – a treatise on Arabic versification.
Kurzgefasste Grammatik der hebräischen Sprache, 1835 – a compendium of Hebrew grammar.
Arabum proverbia; vocalibus instruxit, latine vertit, 1838–1843 – Arabic proverbs (3 volumes). (Translation, original by Meidani, who died 1124[5])
Einleitung in das Studium der arabischen Sprache, 1861 – Introduction to the study of Arabic language.[2][4]
