Philipp August Böckh → August Böckh – wrong name. He is just called August Böckh. This information added to the article: The common misapprehension of Böckh's first name being not just August but Philipp August originated in Heidelberg where staff of the university misread the abbreviation 'Dr phil' (doctor philosophiae) as 'Dr Philipp August Böckh'.^[1]
