About This Item

Trinity College Cambridge, 1811-1815. 6 letters 9 x 7 inches, in good condition, with the integral address leaves (postal markings). Thomas Robinson (1790-1873), Master of the Temple, and Arabic scholar, was educated at Rugby and at Trinity, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1813 as thirteenth wrangler and second classical medallist. He went out to India as a missionary priest, and there he began the translation of the Old Testament into Persian. He was chaplain to Reginald Heber, and was present at Trichinopoly on 2 April 1826 when Heber was drowned. In 1837 Robinson was appointed lord almoner’s professor of Arabic in the University of Cambridge.
