Edgar Baldwin Graves (1898 – March 24, 1983)[1] was an American medievalist and professor of history at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York.
At Haverford, he studied with the eminent medievalist W. E. Lunt, who taught courses on English constitutional history and did pioneering research on papal financial records.
His scholarship focused on a few select issues in English legal history, particularly the relationship between the Crown and ecclesiastical courts, including the papal rota.
[4] In 1975, Graves completed his magnum opus, a revised and updated edition of Charles Gross's Bibliography of English History to 1485 (Oxford).
[6] Friends and former students later established an endowed professorship in his memory in the Hamilton College history department.
