epitaph for Friederick Rosen

[Rosane Rocher]

Sorry for the delayed reaction. I was overseas and away from email.

The initials C.F.L. might stand for Christian Friedrich Lassen, and the 
final B - just possibly - for Bonn. Perhaps someone more familiar than I 
am with 19th-century German academic Latin might have a suggestion for 
s.p.(b.).

Best wishes,
Rosane Rocher

The first copy has Phil.Dr. after the author's name?
