About the Author:
William Laughton Lorimer (1885-1967) was born at Strathmartine near Dundee and spent most of his life on his native East Coast as a teacher and a classical scholar. In the years before and after the Great War he lectured in Greek at St Andrews University, going on to become a Reader in Humanity at University College, Dundee (1929-53), before returning to St Andrews as Professor of Greek for three years until his retirement in 1955. Engaged with spoken Scots since his boyhood, he made many major contributions to the Scottish National Dictionary in his later years. It was also at this time that he started to translate the New Testament from Greek into Scots. He spent the last ten years of his life at this task, but he died before his final revisions could be made. It was his son Robin L.C. Lorimer who completed the revisions and prepared the manuscripts for publication.
