Charles Fox Burney

Charles Fox Burney (4 November 1868 – 15 April 1925) was a biblical scholar at Oxford University, England.

A major contribution was the theory that Yahweh (Jehovah) was at an early period an Amorite deity.

In 1929 Ethel Burney started work for Rosalind Moss at the Griffith Institute at Oxford.

'The Two Ladies' as they were known[1] travelled throughout the Middle East and the rest of the world until the late 1960s visiting digs, museums and collections, and gathering data for the many volumes of the Topographical Bibliography that they produced together with a small team of collaborators.

[2] Charles and Ethel's daughter, Venetia Phair, is famed for proposing the name Pluto for the erstwhile planet, at the age of 11.
