Biography edit

 
Letter from Müller (1915)

Müller was born at Gleißenberg, Germany. He received his higher education in Erlangen, Berlin, Munich, and Leipzig, where he received his Ph.D. He was one of the last students of the Egyptologist Georg Ebers.[1]

Müller emigrated to the United States in 1888. He was a professor at the Reformed Episcopal Seminary in Philadelphia beginning in 1890. During several years (1904, 1906, 1910), he engaged in archaeological work in Egypt for the Carnegie Institution. He lectured on Egyptology at the University of Pennsylvania, and purchased papyri in Egypt for the University Museum.

He died in a drowning accident in Wildwood, New Jersey, in July 1919.
