EDITORS COMMENTS
John Stuart Blackie: A Scholar Devoted to the Classics (1809-1895) This photograph captures the distinguished visage of John Stuart Blackie, a renowned Scottish classical scholar, in the year 1890. Born on March 24, 1809, in Glasgow, Scotland, Blackie dedicated his life to the study and dissemination of classical knowledge. His passion for the ancient world began at an early age, and he went on to become one of the most influential figures in the field of classical scholarship during the late 19th century. Blackie's academic career began at the University of Glasgow, where he studied under the tutelage of Thomas Blackburn, a prominent Scottish theologian and scholar. He later continued his education at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Bonn in Germany. In 1840, he was appointed to the chair of Greek at the University of Edinburgh, a position he held for over 50 years. Blackie's scholarly contributions were numerous and groundbreaking. He was a prolific writer and editor, producing numerous works on Greek literature, history, and philosophy. He also played a significant role in the establishment of the Edinburgh Greek Text Society, which aimed to produce accurate and reliable editions of ancient Greek texts. Blackie's dedication to the classics extended beyond the academic sphere. He was a passionate advocate for the importance of classical education and believed that a deep understanding of the ancient world was essential for a well-rounded education. He wrote extensively on the subject and was a frequent speaker at public events, where he would captivate audiences with his eloquent and engaging lectures. This photograph of John Stuart Blackie, taken in 1890, captures the wisdom and intellect of a man who dedicated his life to the study and preservation of the classical world. His legacy continues to inspire scholars and students of the classics to this day.
