Egerton Grenville Bagot Phillimore (20 December 1856 – 5 June 1937) was a British antiquarian of Welsh literature, language, and history.
While at Oxford, Phillimore met John Rhys, Whitley Stokes and others who stimulated his interest in Welsh culture.
Phillimore developed his interest in the Welsh language producing articles for Bye-gones, Archaeologia Cambrensis and Y Cymmrodor, widely referenced as providing guidance on the meanings of words and names.
He wrote an article on bawdy Welsh words for a German periodical, Kryptadia, published in 1884.
[3][4] Phillimore's papers, including some poetry of his own composition as well as translations of works in Welsh, Latin, French, German and Greek, are kept at the National Library of Wales.
