William Aldis Wright (1 August 1831 –

son of George Wright, a Baptist minister in Beccles. He was educated at Beccles Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge,

where he graduated BA in 1858. As a nonconformist, Wright was ineligible for

election to a Trinity fellowship until 1878, but became Librarian and Senior Bursar of Trinity before that date. He opposed the

allegations by Simonides that the Codex Sinaiticus discovered by Constantin von Tischendorf was

produced around 1840. Duly elected Fellow in 1878, he became vice-master of the

college in 1888.He was one of the editors of the Journal

of Philology from its foundation in 1868, and was secretary to

the Old Testament revision

company from 1870 to 1885. He edited the plays of Shakespeare published

in the "Clarendon Press"

series (1868–97), also with W. G. Clark the

"Cambridge" Shakespeare (1863–1866; 2nd ed. 1891–1893) and the

"Globe" edition (1864). He added the Hebrew Index to 'The Survey of Western Palestine' in

1888. He published a facsimile of the Milton manuscript in the Trinity College library (1899),

and edited Milton's poems with critical notes (1903). He was the intimate

friend and literary executor of Edward FitzGerald, whose Letters and Literary Remains he

edited in 1889. This was followed by the Letters of Edward FitzGerald

to Fanny Letters of Edward

FitzGerald (1901), and The Works of Edward FitzGerald (7

vols., 1903). He edited the metrical chronicle of Robert of Gloucester (1887), Generydes (1878) for the Early English Text Society, Catalogue

of the Syriac manuscripts in the British Museum (1–3 vol., 1870–1872),

and other texts. He is buried in the Parish of

the Ascension Burial Ground in Cambridge.
