Timeline

1901

Robert Mantle Rattenbury (9 December 1901 – 29 July 1970) was an English classical scholar and Registrary of the University of Cambridge.

His most important publication was an edition of the Aethiopica of Heliodorus of Emesa, in three volumes, with notes in French.

He was editor of The Classical Review and a contributor to the Oxford Classical Dictionary.

Rattenbury was a son of John Ernest Rattenbury, a doctor of divinity, one of the leading Methodist evangelists and preachers of his day, who served as President of the National Free Church Council.

1919

He was educated at Westminster School, where in 1919 he played at outside right in the school's First XI for soccer.

He went on to Trinity College, Cambridge, gaining First Class Honours in the Classical Tripos.

1926

In 1926 Rattenbury was elected as a fellow of Trinity College and in 1953 as Registrary of the university, meaning as head of its administration.

1934

In 1934, he married Monica Mary Miller Jones, and they had three daughters.

1935

Between 1935 and 1938, Rattenbury and T. W. Lumb published in Paris an edition of the Aethiopica of Heliodorus of Emesa, in three volumes, with critical notes in French.

1940

When in 1940 Kirk said he was leaving to join the Navy, Rattenbury remarked: "Good Heavens! Well, I don't suppose I shall be seeing you again!"

Nevertheless, Kirk returned to Cambridge at the end of the war and went on to become Regius Professor of Greek there.

1946

By 1946, Rattenbury was editor of The Classical Review, the journal of the Classical Association.

1956

At the time of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956, two Cambridge colleges, Trinity and King's, agreed to take in twenty-five Hungarian student refugees.

Wielding the authority of his office as Registrary, Rattenbury took charge of the exercise, giving the Anglo-Hungarian Don Robert Bolgar of King's the task of escorting the new recruits from London and helping them to settle in.

Rattenbury was a contributor to The Oxford Classical Dictionary, under the initials RMR.

1957

These were later translated into English and the work was republished in Ann Arbor in 1957.

At Trinity, Rattenbury was the supervisor of Geoffrey Kirk, and an obituary of Kirk by Hugh Lloyd-Jones says of Rattenbury that he was "a sound scholar but by no means an inspiring teacher".

1969

He left an estate valued at £29,091.
