H. A. J. Munro (1819 - 1885)

Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro (29 October 1819 – 30 March 1885) was a British classical scholar. The great work on which his reputation rests is his edition of Lucretius, the fruit of many years' efforts (text only, 1 vol., 1860; text, commentary and translation, 2 vols, 1864). As a textual critic his knowledge was profound and his judgment unrivalled; and he studied archaeology, being a frequent traveller in Italy and Greece.
