Edward Henryson (French: Henry Édouard, Latin: Henricius Eduardus) (1522–c.1590) was a Scottish judge, known also as a jurist and classical scholar.
Introduced to Ulrich Fugger of Kirchberg and Weissenhome in the Tyrol, a young humanist, Henryson was put on a pension, and occupied himself in collecting and translating classical texts.
[2] Through the humanist network and a recommendation to Robert Reid, Henryson in 1556 returned to Scotland and a lecturing position in the classics.
[2] For Fugger, Henryson translated into Latin the commentary of Plutarch on stoic philosophy, a work published at Leyden in 1555, with an appendix containing emendations of doubtful readings in the original Greek text.
He obtained an exclusive privilege to print and dispose of the work for a period of ten years from the date of publication.
