James Hadley (March 10, 1821 – November 14, 1872) was a United States philologist who taught Greek and Hebrew languages at Yale College. ==Biography== He was born in Fairfield, New York, where his father was professor of chemistry at Fairfield Medical College.〔''Yale Obituary Record 1872-1873'', "James Hadley", p. 99.〕 At the age of nine, a knee injury left him lame for life. He received his early instruction at the Fairfield Academy, and also acquired some scientific knowledge from his father. He became assistant at the Academy, and later graduated from Yale College in 1842, having entered the junior class in 1840. He was then a resident graduate at Yale for a year, after which he entered Yale's theological seminary, where he spent two years. From April to September 1845, he was a tutor at Middlebury College.〔 He was a tutor at Yale in 1845–1848, an assistant professor of Greek in 1848–1851, and a professor of Greek, succeeding President Woolsey, from 1851 until his death in New Haven, Connecticut.〔 As an undergraduate, he had proven an able mathematician, but the influence of Edward Elbridge Salisbury, under whom Hadley and William Dwight Whitney studied Sanskrit together, turned his attention toward the study of language. He knew Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, Hebrew, Arabic, Armenian, several Celtic languages, and the languages of modern Europe; but he published little, and his scholarship found scant outlet in the college classroom. Hadley was well versed in civil law. His course of lectures on civil law was included in the curriculum of the Yale Law School, and was likewise delivered at Harvard.〔 He was a member of the American Committee for the revision of the New Testament, and was president of the American Oriental Society (1871–1872).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Hadley (scholar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
