From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Henry Gwilliam (28 July 1846 – 17 November 1913) was an English Aramaicist and Hebraist.[1]
Gwilliam was born in Bristol, the second son of Samuel Gwilliam. He was educated at King's College London and Jesus College, Oxford (BA 1871, MA 1874). He was a fellow of Hertford College, Oxford for nearly 40 years.[2]
He continued the work of Philip E. Pusey on making an edition of the Aramaic New Testament of the Peshitta.[3] The utility of the edition is however limited by its reliance on late sources.[4]
He died in Reading, Berkshire, aged 67.[5][6]
