===[[name::Harold]] or [[name::Harrold]] [[name::MILNER]] [[date of birth::1673]]-[[date of death::1711]]===

====Biographical Note====

Son of John Milner of [[location::Wakefield, Yorkshire]].  Attended [[education:: Wakefield School]].  Admitted as a sizar at [[education::Christ’s College, Cambridge]] in 1689; scholar 1690; BA 1693 and MA 1699. [[occupation::Head Master]] of [[location::Daventry, Northamptonshire|Daventry School]], Northamptonshire, 1701-11.  (According to  ACAD he was ordained in 1701 and a priest in 1709, but he does not appear in  the CCEd Church of England Database.)

====Books====

A list, taken on 26 October 1711 by [[associates:: Benjamin Frauncis]], of over 150 books belonging to Milner is in the Peterborough Diocesan Archives, and has been transcribed by  D. K. Shearing.  These were valued at over £8.0.0 in total, ranging from a work by Robertson -  probably [[author::William Robertson]]’s Greek-Latin and Latin-Greek [[book title::''Thesaurus'']], [[date of publication::(1688)]]  - at 7s 6d   to an edition of [[author::Lykosthenes]]’s ''Apothegmata''  at 1d; a few do not have values against them.   The list’s minimal detailing ('Suetonius', ‘an old small Horace’) makes clear identification  difficult in many cases, but it is clear that the majority were editions of [[subject::classics|Greek ]] and Roman authors, or associated reference materials such as commentaries and grammars.
