Autorenporträt
George Rawlinson (1812-1902) was a prominent 19th-century English scholar and historian renowned for his extensive writings on ancient history. Born on November 23, 1812, in Chadlington, Oxfordshire, he was a prominent figure in the intellectual life of Victorian England. Rawlinson's academic journey led him to Oxford University, where he excelled and later became a fellow and tutor at Exeter College. His scholarly work paid particular attention to the ancient civilizations of the Near East, including Persia, Phoenicia, and Assyria. In addition to his expertise in ancient history, Rawlinson was also a cleric of the Church of England, with his dual roles informing his interpretative approach to historical texts and events. His literary style often fused a rigorous attention to primary-source detail with a narrative prowess that made his histories both accessible and engaging to a broader audience. Among his numerous works, 'The Kings of Israel and Judah' is a noteworthy reference, showcasing Rawlinson's commitment to providing a detailed historical account of the monarchal period as described in the biblical narratives. His work has had a lasting impact on the field of historiography, as he was a pioneer in the use of inscriptions and other archaeological finds to corroborate the historical accounts found in classical literature. Rawlinson's legacy is that of a foundational figure in the academic study of ancient history, and his contributions continue to be referenced in biblical and historical scholarship.
