Abel Hendy Jones Greenidge (22 December 1865 – 11 March 1906) was a writer on ancient history and law.
Nathaniel Heath Greenidge, vicar of Boscobel Parish, St Peter and his wife Elizabeth Cragg Kellman.
On 29 March 1907 a civil pension of £75 was granted to his widow "in consideration of his services to the study of Roman Law and History"; she died on 9 July 1907.
The third volume was intended to be up to the death of Caesar, the fourth was to cover the Civil War and the rule of Augustus, while the fifth and sixth were to deal with the Emperors up to Vespasian.
Much of Abel Hendy Jones' most interesting work is to be found in scattered articles, more particularly in the Classical Review.
His merit as an historian lies in his "accurate accumulation of detail, combined with critical insight and power of exposition which was not unmixed with occasional paradox".
The Daily Telegraph declared that "Abel Greenidge had tapped sources of Roman Law that English scholars did not even know about".
