Louis Claude Purser, FBA (28 September 1854 in Abbeyside – 20 March 1932 in Dublin) was an Irish classical scholar.[1]

Purser was educated at Midleton College, County Cork,[2] and Portora Royal School, Enniskillen, where a fellow pupil and student of classics was Oscar Wilde.[3]

Purser was a tutor at Trinity College, Dublin, from 1881 to 1898. In 1897, he was appointed as Professor of Latin there.[2] He collaborated with Dr. Robert Yelverton Tyrrell on the translation of the letters of Cicero.[4]

Purser and Arthur Palmer completed the editorial work for the final volumes of James Henry’s Aeneidea, a detailed commentary on Virgil’s Aeneid, after the death of John Fletcher Davies, the editor originally appointed by Henry’s trustees.[5]

He was the brother of the Irish artist Sarah Purser. His niece Olive Purser was the first woman scholar in TCD.[6] He is buried at Mount Jerome Cemetery.[7]
