  • Wikipedia 27 April 2020: (Edwin Norris (24 October 1795 – 10 December 1872) was a British philologist, linguist and orientalist, who wrote or compiled numerous works on the languages of Asia and Africa; his best-known works are his uncompleted Assyrian Dictionary and his translation and annotation of the three plays of the Cornish Ordinalia. He was born in Taunton, Somerset, and served as a Clerk for the East India House and was also an assistant secretary in the Royal Asiatic Society during the 1830s. In addition to his Cornish translation, he deciphered the Assyrian lion weights from Nineveh and he discovered the weight measurement system of this civilisation, and started the Assyrian Dictionary, still unfinished when he died.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Norris
