George Offor

George Offor (1787– 7 August 1864) was an English book-collector who accumulated a massive personal library.

He studied Hebrew, Greek and Latin and became an expert in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature and theological writings.

[3] He spent his days reading, researching, recording, comparing, and editing the works of Bunyan.

Offor's diligent labour concluded in 1854 with the printing of the three-volume, 2,800 page Works of John Bunyan.

Now over a century and a half old, Offor's final product remains the most popular definitive collection of Bunyan in print.
