'''Edwin Palmer''' (1824–1895) was an English churchman and academic, Corpus Professor of Latin at Oxford from 1870 to 1878[1] and [[archdeacon of Oxford]] from 1878 to his death.[2]

==Life==
His father William Jocelyn Palmer was rector of [[Mixbury]] in [[Oxfordshire]]. His mother Dorothea was daughter of the Rev. William Roundell of [[Gledstone]], [[Yorkshire]]; there were six sons and four daughters, and [[William Palmer (ecumenist)|William Palmer]] and [[Roundell Palmer, 1st Earl of Selborne|Roundell Palmer]] were his two eldest brothers.[3][4]

At Oxford, he met [[William Stubbs]], who was his future bishop when he became archdeacon, at the Hermes debating society, and they became lifelong friends.[5] As a Fellow of [[Balliol College]] he was one of an influential group of liberal theologians in the college: [[Benjamin Jowett]], [[T. H. Green]] and [[William Lambert Newman]] were others.[6] With [[Edward Charles Wickham]] he started the intercollegiate lectures in the university.[7] [[Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.|Oliver Wendell Holmes]] was his guest at Balliol in 1866.[8] In 1870, with his Latin professorship, he became a Fellow of [[Corpus Christi College, Oxford|Corpus Christi College]].[9]

He set off on travel for his heath during the winter of 1849/50 with his brother William in the [[Levant]], meeting [[Alexandros Mavrokordatos]] in [[Athens]] and visiting [[Smyrna]] to see [[Yevfimy Putyatin]]. They went on to [[Damascus]] and [[Jerusalem]].[10] Returning, they visited [[Mount Athos]].[11] The trip ended back in England in August 1850, with Edwin Palmer in better health.[12]

==New Testament scholar==
In 1881 Palmer edited the ''Greek Testament With the Readings Adopted by the Revisers of the Authorized Version'', producing a [[Greek New Testament]] text representing the basis of the ''[[Revised Version]]''. In the 1881 Revision it was stated "A revision of the Greek text was the necessary foundation of our work; but it did not fall within our province to construct a continuous and complete Greek text." Palmer's text was a ''post facto'' text, designed to meet the need of showing the Greek behind the decisions of the English committee. Later parallel editions from Oxford and Cambridge included a Received Text edition across from the Palmer edition. Palmer was assisted by [[Frederick Henry Ambrose Scrivener]].[13] The 1910 edition by [[Alexander Souter]] reproduces Palmer's text.[14] [[Charles John Ellicott]] wrote that there were at most 64 readings in Palmer's text, in agreement with the 1881 text of [[Fenton John Anthony Hort]] and [[Brooke Westcott]], ''[[The New Testament in the Original Greek]]'', that were not found in either the ''Textus Receptus'' or in one or more of the texts of [[Karl Lachmann]], [[Constantin von Tischendorf]] and [[Samuel Prideaux Tregelles]]. [15].

==Family==
He married Henrietta, daughter of Rev. James Riddell; [[Edwin James Palmer]] was their son, and they had two daughters.[16]
