Carus Greek Testament Prizes

January 01, 1970

The Carus Greek Testament Prizes are two annual prizes (one for undergraduates, one for graduate students) awarded at Cambridge University in England. Candidates are given a passage in Greek from the New Testament and asked to both translate and interpret it; a board of examiners then judges the papers. A student can only win each prize once.[1]

Prize money was originally donated by friends of a Rev. William Carus, a Fellow of Trinity College, and was accepted by the university in 1853. It was later increased by a donation from Carus himself and by an anonymous donor in 1894. The prizes were first awarded in 1854.

The prize is still announced annually, but has not been awarded in recent years due to a lack of candidates.

Notable prize-winners edit

 
Henry Barclay Swete, undergraduate winner (shared) in 1854
 
Arthur Nutter Thomas, undergraduate winner in 1893
