THORPE, BENJAMIN (1782-1870) , English Anglo-Saxon scholar, was born in 1782. After studying for four years at
Copenhagen
  University, under the Danish philologist Rasmus Christian Rask, he returned to England in 183o, and in 1832 published an English version of Caedmon's metrical paraphrase of portions of the Holy Scriptures, which at once established his reputation as an Anglo-Saxon scholar. In 1834 he published Analecta Anglo-Saxonica, which was for many years the standard textbook of Anglo-Saxon in English, but his best-known
work
  is a Northern Mythology in three volumes (1851). His was the first complete good
translation
  of the elder Edda (1866). His other works include Ancient
Laws
  and Institutes of England (1840), an English
translation
  of the
laws
  enacted under the Anglo-Saxon kings; The Holy Gospels in Anglo-Saxon (1842); Codex Exoniensis (1842), a collection of Anglo-Saxon poetry with English translation; an English translation of Dr Lappenburg's History of England under the Anglo-Saxon Kings (1845) Anglo-Saxon Poems of Beowulf (1855), a translation; an edition for the " Rolls "
series
  of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (1861); and Diplomatarium Anglicum aevi saxonici (1865), a collection of
early English charters.
Thorpe
  died at
Chiswick
  on the 19th of July 1870. The value of his
work
  was recognized by the grant to him, in 1835, of a civil
list
  pension.
