About S. C. Malan

S. C. "Solomon Caesar" Malan (1812–1894) was a theologian born in Geneva. This Anglican had a remarkable faculty for learning languages; he mastered French, German, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Greek, Georgian, Armenian, Coptic, Chinese, and English. His Original Notes on the Book of Proverbs (1889–1893) is considered significant for Malan's critical insights. He studied at Oxford and though he lost eyesight in one eye while there from studying too hard, he garnered two major scholarships: the Boden scholarship for Sanskrit in 1834 and the Pusey and Ellerton scholarship for Hebrew in 1837.

He and his family ministered in India, where Malan took a position as a professor of classical languages at Bishop's College, Calcutta. Later, he served there as a deacon of the Anglican Church. Malan lost his first wife to consumption, with whom he had two sons, but married again and had five more children. A perfectionist, Malan published many biblical works, including textual studies of ancient translations of the Gospel of John and critical analyses of translations of the Bible in several Asiatic languages. He also produced two noteworthy resources for children about parables and miracles.
