Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro

Hugh Andrew Johnstone Munro (29 October 1819 – 30 March 1885) was a British classical scholar.

[1] He became classical lecturer at Trinity College, and in 1869 was elected to the newly founded chair of Latin at Cambridge, but resigned it in 1872.

As a textual critic his knowledge was profound and his judgment unrivalled; and he studied archaeology, being a frequent traveller in Italy and Greece.

His contributions to the famous volume of Shrewsbury verse, Sabrinae corolla, are among the most remarkable of the collection.

[2] A Memoir by J. D. Duff was prefixed to a re-issue of the translation of Lucretius in "Bohn's Classical Library" (1908).
