Robert Gregg Bury (/ˈbjʊəri/; 22 March 1869 – 11 February 1951) was an Irish Anglican clergyman, classicist, philologist, and a translator of the works of Plato and Sextus Empiricus into English.
[4] During the earlier part of his life Bury made a name for himself by creating authoritative[6][7][8] new editions (with introductions, critical commentaries and notes) for the Cambridge University Press of Plato's Socratic dialogues Philebus and Symposium.
Then he composed English translations (again accompanied by commentaries and notes) of Plato's Timaeus, Critias, Cleitophon, Menexenus, Epistles and Laws and of the works of Sextus Empiricus for the bilingual Loeb Classical Library.
[9] Professor Robert B. Todd remarked that "[f]ew British scholars have served Greek philosophical studies as well without holding a formal academic position".
[13] The Gregg Bury Prize has been established at the University of Cambridge and is "awarded for a distinguished dissertation on the subject of the Philosophy of Religion".
