Autorenporträt
John Bagnell Bury, FBA, was an Anglo-Irish historian, classical scholar, medieval Roman historian, and philologist. He clearly rejected the title "Byzantinist" in the preface to the 1889 edition of his Later Roman Empire. He was Erasmus Smith's Professor of Modern History at Trinity College Dublin from 1893 to 1902, then Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge and a Professorial Fellow of King's College, Cambridge from 1902 until his death. Bury was born in Clontibret, County Monaghan, in 1861 as the son of Edward John Bury and Anna Rogers. His father was the Rector of the Anglican Church of Ireland. He was first educated by his parents before attending Foyle College in Derry. He was 24 years old when he was elected a fellow of Trinity College Dublin in 1885. That same year, he married his second cousin Jane Bury, who helped him with his work, particularly her chapter on Byzantine art in the History of the Later Roman Empire (1889); they had one son. In 1893, he was appointed to Trinity College's Erasmus Smith's Chair of Modern History, where he served for nine years. In 1898, he was named Regius Professor of Greek at Trinity, a position he maintained alongside his history professorship.[4] In late 1902, he became Regius Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge.
