Edward Vernon Arnold was a British Indologist and Classical scholar.
Education

Career
Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge. From 1884 to 1924 he was Professor of Latin at the University College of North Wales in Bangor. Awarded Litt.D. 1907 at Cambridge, Hon. D.Litt. 1919 at Manchester University. He published a number of textbooks on Classical studies, most notably on the pedagogical pronunciation of Latin and Greek[1] and on Roman Stoicism[2]. His study of Vedic Sanskrit grammar appeared in 1897. [3] However, his most important work was on the internal chronology of the hymns of the Rigveda, culminating in his book “Vedic Metre in its Historical Development”.[4] In the opinion of Stephanie W. Jamison, "The most important attempt at a complete chronology is that of Arnold 1905, based primarily on metrical criteria."[5]
Arnold was involved in Welsh protests against the Armenian massacres of 1894-6 by Turkish troops, editing a newspaper with the title 'Wales and Armenia - Cymru unllais'. [6][7]
Family
Arnold was son of the Reverend C. M. Arnold, Vicar of Saint Mark’s, South Norwood. He married Violet Osborn in 1894: three sons, two daughters.
