Ambrose Ussher (1582?–1629) was an Irish Protestant clergyman and scholar, a fellow of Trinity College, Dublin and rector in the Church of Ireland, known as a biblical translator.
[1] Born in Dublin about 1582, he was third but second surviving son of Arland Ussher and his wife Margaret.
The only work he published was a ‘Brief Catechism very well serving for the Instruction of Youth,’ printed at Dublin without date.
He left, however, thirty-four works in manuscript, preserved in Trinity College, Dublin.
They included volumes of sermons, commentaries on scripture, and notes on classical authors.
