- Francis Llewellyn Griffith
Francis Llewellyn Griffith (1862-1934) was an eminent British Egyptologist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
F. Ll. Griffith was born in Brighton on 27 May 1862 where his father, Rev. Dr. John Griffith, was Principal of Brighton College. After schooling at Brighton College (1871), then privately by his father, he went to Sedbergh School, Yorkshire (1875-8). Griffith was awarded a scholarship to Queens College and went up to the University of Oxford in 1879, his enthusiasm for Egyptology already apparent: in the absence of an Egyptological department he taught himself ancient Egyptian. ["Oxford Dictionary of National Biography", Oxford University Press 204, p.959] After the establishment of a post in Egyptology Griffith was appointed Reader in 1901. He was Professor of Egyptology at the university from 1924 until 1932 and died in 1934.
By the terms of his will the Griffith Institute was established in 1939. ["The Ashmolean" 16, 1989, 5-7.]
