ΘΟΥΚΥΔΙΔΟΥ ΤΕΤΑΡΤΗ. The Fourth Book of Thucydides. A revision of the text illustrating the principal causes of corruption in the manuscripts of this author, by William Gunion Rutherford

William Gunion Rutherford (1853-1907), classical scholar and schoolmaster. Rutherford was educated at Glasgow High School and the University of St Andrews, where he studied under Lewis Campbell. In 1873 he entered Balliol College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1876. In 1883 he was elected fellow of University College, Oxford, but instead became headmaster of Westminster School, a post he held from 1883 to 1901. He also took holy orders upon assuming the headship. Rutherford published several works on Greek grammar and literature, including The New Phrynichus (1881), editions of Thucydides Book 4 (1889), and Herondas (1892). Later works included his edition of the scholia to Aristophanes (1896-1905) and a critical volume, A Chapter in the History of Annotation (1905), exploring glosses and interlinear commentary in ancient texts. He also undertook a personal translation of Pauline epistles, publishing a version of Romans (1900) and working on the Corinthian and Thessalonian letters until his death. ODBN
