BÜRK, Albert. 18?? — 19??. German or Austrian Indologist. No Indological diss. in Janert, not a member of D.M.G. In 1901/02 he was in Tübingen, perhaps a student of Garbe. As the name is far from unique and without many personal information, one cannot say, whether the Indological and non-Indological publications are by the same man. One Albert Bürk wrote on German history in 1900/05. In 1923 Albert Bürk published a monograph about paedagogy of Isocrates, in 1927 about constitutional law. In 1953 Albert Bürk and Wilhelm Wille compiled the Tübingen University Matrikel.Internet search gives one Dr. Albert Eugene Bürk (Winterbach, Rems-Murr-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg  10.8.1875 — Ibid. 12.12.1950), married with Emma Wachter (1903–1972), two sons and one daughter (ancestors.familysearch.org).
