George Ryves
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Ryves D.D. was an English academic administrator at the University of Oxford.
Ryves was elected Warden (head) of New College, Oxford, in 1599, a post he held until 1613.[1] During his time as Warden of New College, he was also Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University from 1601 until 1602.[2][3]
Ryves was involved in the translation of the King James Version. Gustavus Paine notes that a letter from Thomas Bilson to Thomas Lake refers to Ryves as "one of the overseers of that part of the New Testament that is being translated out of Greek."[4]
