Egy újságíróvá vált orvos pályaképe, Saphir Zsigmond 1801 1866

Zsigmond Saphir, cousin of the well-known but often disliked comedian and writer Moritz Gottlieb Saphir, who was known for his sharp tongue and critical opinions, was born in Lovasberény in 1801. He studied medicine but worked through his entire life as a journalist and editor of specific periodicals. From 1839 to 1845, he edited the high-quality literary review Pesther Tageblatt. After the expiration of this journal, he worked as a translator and authored short stories for periodicals. He contributed to Der Ungar (1842–1848) and edited Der Spiegel from 1848 to 1852. From 1855 to 1865, he edited the illustrated weekly newspaper Pester Sonntags-Zeitung. He died in 1866. Due to his remarkable work ethic and skills, Saphir is undoubtedly an outstanding representative of German journalism in Hungary.
