Abel Hendy Jones Greenidge (1865 - 1906) was a writer on ancient history and law. He was the second son of the Rev Nathaniel Heath Greenidge, vicar of Boscobel Parish, St Peter and his wife Elizabeth Cragg Kellman, was born on the 22nd December 1865 at Belle Farm Estate, Barbados. His first book Infamia, its place in Roman Public and Private Law was published at Oxford in 1894. Infamia is the term for loss of civil honour, and Abel made an interesting contribution to the knowledge of Roman legal practice by demonstrating that its legal aspect was quite secondary to its moral and social significance. There followed a Handbook of Greek Constitutional History (1896) in which he gave a narrative of the main lines of development of Greek Public Law, Roman Public Life (1901) in which he traced the growth of the Roman constitution and showed the political genius of Romans in dealing with all the problems of administration they had to face and The Legal Procedure in Cicero�s Time Oxford (1901) a systematic and historical treatment of civil and criminal procedure, which was the most important of Abel Hendy Jones� completed works. He also revised Sir William Smith�s History of Rome (1897), (down to the death of Justinian) of the Student�s Gibbon (1899). In 1903, in cooperation with Miss A. M. Clay, he produced Sources of Roman History BC 133-70 (Oxford) designed to prepare the way for a new History of Rome. In 1904, he contributed an historical introduction to the 4th edition of Poste�s Institutes of Gaius.
