- Edward Valentine Blomfield
Edward Valentine Blomfield (February 14, 1788–October 9, 1816), was an English classical scholar and brother of Bishop CJ Blomfield. He was born at Bury St Edmunds.
Attending Caius College, Cambridge, he was thirteenth wrangler in 1811, obtained several of the classical prizes of the university, and became a fellow and lecturer at Emmanuel College.
In 1813 he travelled to Germany and made the acquaintance of some of the great scholars of that country. On his return, he published in the "Museum Criticum" (No. ii) an interesting paper on "The Present State of Classical Literature in Germany."
Blomfield is chiefly known by his translation of Matthiae's "Greek Grammar" (1819), which was prepared for the press by his brother. He died in 1816, his early death depriving Cambridge of one who seemed destined to take a high place amongst her most brilliant classical scholars.
