About the author

Joseph Rawson Lumby (1831–1895) was an English cleric, academic, and author associated with the University of Cambridge. He is remembered for his scholarship as well as his teaching, and for work that helped preserve and present older texts for later generations of readers.

He held major posts in divinity at Cambridge, including the Norrisian Professorship of Divinity and later the Lady Margaret's Professorship of Divinity. Alongside his university work, he wrote and edited books, especially in biblical and early English studies, which made him a familiar name to readers of nineteenth-century scholarship.

Because readily available pages found here did not show a confirmed portrait image of him, no profile image is included.
