Regius Professor of Greek (Oxford)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Regius Professorship of Greek is a professorship at the University of Oxford in England.

Henry VIII founded the chair by 1541. He established five Regius Professorships in the university (and five corresponding chairs in Cambridge University), the others being the Regius chairs of Divinity, Medicine, Civil Law and Hebrew.

The duties of a professor include:

1. The Regius Professor of Greek shall lecture and give instruction in the history and criticism of the Greek Language and Literature and on the works of classical Greek authors.

2. The professor shall be subject to the General Provisions of the decree concerning the duties of professors and to those Particular Provisions of the same decree which are applicable to this chair.[1]
