Colin William MacLeod

Colin William MacLeod ( born June 26, 1943 in Edinburgh, † 17 December 1981) was a British philologist Classic.

After preparation by the Headmaster of the Public School in Rugby, AN Saunders, MacLeod won a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford, where he in 1961 began his studies of classical philology at the early age of sixteen. There he came into close contact with Gordon Williams and Eduard Fraenkel. After graduating MacLeod received 1966 Woodhouse Junior Research Fellowship at St John's College, where he was influenced by Donald Russell. He was Lecturer, 1969 Student and tutor at Christ Church College in succession by John Gould in 1968. MacLeod was married to the Italian Barbara Montagna.

MacLeod began his scientific way to work on the church father Gregory of Nyssa and the mysticism of Plato, Plotinus and the Church Fathers, behind which stood the unfinished project of an edition of Gregory's Life of Moses. As a student of Eduard Fraenkel MacLeod is then dealt primarily with Horace, but also with the Greek tragedians Aeschylus and Euripides. Another masterpiece is the brief commentary on the last book of the Iliad of Homer for the Cambridge University Press.
