Born Joseph Hammer in Graz, Styria (now
Austria), he received his early education mainly in Vienna. Entering the
diplomatic service in 1796, he was appointed in 1799 to a position in the
Austrian embassy in Istanbul, and in this capacity he took part in the
expedition under Admiral William Sidney Smith and General John Hely-Hutchinson
against France. In 1807 he returned home from the East, after which he was made
a privy councillor.



In 1824 he was knighted (Chevalier).



For fifty years Hammer-Purgstall wrote prolifically on the most diverse subjects
and published numerous texts and translations of Arabic, Persian and Turkish
authors. He was the first to publish a complete translation of the divan of
Hafez into a western language.[1] By traversing so large a field, he laid
himself open to the criticism of specialists, and he was severely handled by
Heinrich Friedrich von Diez (1751–1817), who, in his Unfug und Betrug in der
morgenländischen Litteratur, nebst vielen hundert Proben von der groben
Unwissenheit des H. v. Hammer zu Wien in Sprachen und Wissenschaften (1815),
devoted to him nearly 600 pages of abuse. He also came into friendly conflict on
the subject of the origin of The Thousand and One Nights with his younger
English contemporary Edward William Lane.



He supported the foundation of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and
became the Academy's first president (1847–1849). The Austrian Oriental Society,
founded in 1959 to foster cultural relations with the Near East, is formally
named 'Österreichische Orient-Gesellschaft Hammer-Purgstall' in recognition of
Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall's accomplishments.

In 1847 he received a medal commissioned by a friend of his, Ludwig August von
Frankl. The reverse references some of his works in pictures.



He died in Vienna on 23 November 1856.

Beautiful color
Color: Rose
This lip shine is a beautiful color with just the right amount of shine. I wanted something for everyday wear that was moisturizing with a little color and this met my expectations. As most all lip shines, it has to be reapplied frequently.

Great SPF lip protection and color
Color: Plum
Love the texture and color for an SPF balm. Is great lip perfection just getting used to the taste and smell. But I love this one better than other spf lip balm as it's mineral vs chemical sunscreen. Especially for lips!!

Pricy
Color: Rose
I used to buy this regularly a couple of years ago, but stopped buying because of the price. Then I bought it again, because I haven't found any other SPF lip glosses or balms that don't irritate my lips. Unfortunately, I don't know if they have changed the formulation or what, but now I'm getting irritated lips from this one too. I love the shade and the feel of it, but the whole reason why I use it is for the sun protection. I just don't know why SPF always seems to irritate my lips. I was hoping this one, being at a higher price point and a good brand would be the one that doesn't. But the hunt is still on.

Not coral and not sheer
Color: Coral
I got the coral and it’s actually an opaque terracotta. Plus it tingles the lips and causes irritation. Extremely disappointed.
