  • Henry Nettleship was an English classical scholar. Nettleship was born at Kettering, and was educated at Lancing College, Durham School and Charterhouse schools, and Corpus Christi College, Oxford. In 1861, he was elected to a fellowship at Lincoln, which he vacated on his marriage in 1870. In 1868, he became an assistant master at Harrow, but in 1873 he returned to Oxford, and was elected to a fellowship at Corpus. In 1878 he was appointed to succeed Edwin Palmer in the professorship of Latin, and held the post till his death. Nettleship had always been interested in Virgil, and a good deal of his time was devoted to his favourite poet. After John Conington's death in 1869, he saw his edition of Virgil through the press, and revised and corrected subsequent editions of the work. In 1875, he had undertaken to compile a new Latin lexicon for the Clarendon Press, but the work proved more than he could accomplish, and in 1887 he published some of the results of twelve years' labour in a volume entitled Contributions to Latin Lexicography, a genuine piece of original work. In conjunction with John Edwin Sandys, Nettleship revised and edited Oskar Seyffert's Dictionary of Classical Antiquities, and he contributed to a volume entitled Essays on the Endowment of Research an article on "The Present Relations between Classical Research and Classical Education in England," in which he pointed out the great value of the professorial lecture in Germany. In his views on the research question, he was a follower of Mark Pattison, whose essays he edited in 1889 for the Clarendon Press. In Lectures and Essays on Subjects connected with Latin Literature and Scholarship, Nettleship revised and republished some of his previous publications. A second series of these, published in 1895, and edited by F. Haverfield, contained a memoir by Mrs M. Nettleship. Obituary notices appeared in The Times; Classical Review (October, 1893); Oxford Magazine.
  • Henry Nettleship war ein englischer klassischer Philologe. Er wurde auf dem Lancing College in Durham und an der Charterhouse School erzogen und besuchte schließlich das Corpus Christi College in Oxford. 1861 wurde er zum Fellow des Lincoln College gewählt, das er bei seiner Heirat 1870 verließ. 1868 wurde er assistant master in Harrow, kehrte aber 1873 nach Oxford zurück, wo er zum Fellow des Corpus Christi College gewählt wurde. 1878 folgte er Edwin Palmer als Professor für Latein; diese Aufgabe nahm er bis zu seinem Tod wahr. Nettleships Interesse galt Vergil und einen bedeutenden Teil seiner Arbeit widmete er diesem Dichter. Nach John Coningtons Tod 1869 begleitete er dessen Vergil-Ausgabe durch den Druck und betreute die weiteren Ausgaben des Werks. 1875 begann er ein neues Latein-Lexikon für Clarendon Press, doch das Projekt erforderte mehr Einsatz als er leisten konnte, so dass er 1887 lediglich einige Ergebnisse zwölfjähriger Arbeit in dem Buch Contributions to Latin Lexicography veröffentlichte. In Verbindung mit John Edwin Sandys gab Nettleship Seyfferts Dictionary of Classical Antiquities neu heraus, und steuerte selbst zum Band Essays on the Endowment of Research den Artikel "The Present Relations between Classical Research and Classical Education in England" bei, in dem er auf den großen Wert der professoralen Vorlesungen in Deutschland verwies. In Forschungsfragen war er ein Anhänger von Mark Pattison, dessen Essays er 1889 bei Clarendon Press publizierte. In Lectures and Essays on Subjects connected with Latin Literature and Scholarship veröffentlichte Nettleship einige seiner Arbeiten (nach erfolgter Durchsicht) ein zweites Mal. Eine zweite Serie hierzu, 1895 von F. Haverfield herausgegeben, enthält eine von M. Nettleship verfasste Biografie. Nachrufe auf Nettleship erschienen in The Times (11. Juli, 1893); Classical Review (Oktober 1893) und Oxford Magazine (18. Oktober, 1893).
