Rawdon Brown

Rawdon Brown (born 1803; died August 25, 1883 in Venice) was a historical scholar.

He spent his life at Venice in the study of Italian history, especially in its relation to English history, which he prosecuted with unwearied industry; his great work, work of 20 years' hard labour, "Calendar of State Papers and Manuscripts relating to English Affairs existing in the Archives of Venice and Northern Italy," left unfinished at his death; died at Venice, where he spent a great part of his life, where John Ruskin found him and conceived a warm friendship for him. In 1838 he had purchased the Palazzo Dario but sold it four years later due to lack of funds ["Venice, A Cultural and Literary History", Martin Garrett, Signal Books, 2001] .
