HODY, HUMPHREY: Anglican Biblical scholar; b. at Odoombe, Somersetahire, Jan. 1, 1659; d. while on a journey to Bath Jan. 20, 1707. He was educated at Wadham College, Oxford (B.A., 1679; M.A., 1682; B.D., 1689; D.D., 1692), where he obtained a fellowship in 1685. In 1690 he became chaplain to Stillingfieet, bishop of Worcester. For his support of the government in a controversy with Henry Dodwell regarding nonjuring bishops he was made domestic chaplain to Tillotson, archbishop of Canterbury, in 1694, and retained the position under Archbishop Tenison. In 1695 he was presented by Tenison to the rectory of Chartham, Kent, which he immediately exchanged for the rectories of St. Michael Royal and St. Martin Vintry, London. In 1698 he became regius professor of Greek at the University of Oxford, in 1701 rector. of Monks' Risborough, Buckinghamshire, and in 1704 archdeacon of Oxford. To the controversy about convocation he contributed Some Thoughts on a Convocation, and the Notion of its Divine Right (London, 1699) and A History of English Councils and Convocations, and of the Clergy's Sitting in parliament (3 parts, 1701). His reputation, however, rests upon his valuable work on the history of the text and translations of the Old Testament, De btbliorum textZus 071P-llWua, ver&wn*us Grtects et Latina Vulgates, ltTm: iv (1705). The first book contains his earlier dissertation, Contra historiam Aristew de LXX interprettbua (Oxford, 1684), in which he had shown that the alleged letter of Aristeas concerning the origin of the Septuagint was a forgery. By his will he founded ten scholarships at Wadham College for the study of Greek and Hebrew.
