First published in 1882, this is a biography of the English
clergyman, scholar and classicist, Richard Bentley (1662-1742).
Born in West Yorkshire, educated at Wakefield Grammar School and
later at St John's College in Cambridge, Bentley became one of the
most respected textual critics of his day. Among students of the
Greek New Testament, he is remembered as the first person to define
a plan for constructing the whole of the text directly from the
original documents. Bentley became a prominent and controversial
figure during his time as Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. His
temper and his contemptuous treatment of his colleagues led to
various attempts to secure his removal and embroiled him in
controversy and feuding for the next 30 years. Despite all this,
Bentley continued his classical research and published books that
are studied to this day.
