Edward Owen (translator)

Edward Owen (1728 or 1729 – April 1807) was a Welsh Anglican priest, headmaster and translator.

Owen was born in 1728 or 1729 (since he was noted to be 17 years old when he matriculated at Jesus College, Oxford in March 1746).

He remained rector until his death in 1807 and was held in high regard in the area, both as schoolmaster and priest.

The scholar Gilbert Wakefield described him as "a man of most elegant learning, unimpeachable veracity, and peculiar benevolance of heart.
