Шаблон:Use dmy dates Arthur Henry Bleeck (1829–1877) was a British orientalist. He was born on 18 May 1829 in Westbury, Wiltshire, the son of William Bleeck (1801/2–1873), who was from 1830 rector of Huish, Wiltshire, and his wife, Charlotte, née Goodman.[1]

Bleeck worked for some time in the British Museum, where his linguistic capacity made him useful. He later went out to the East during the Crimean War, and until the conclusion of peace held a post in connection with the land transport corps at Sinope. Refused readmission to the British Museum on his return to England, he worked for several years for Muncherjee Hormusjee Cana, who employed him to prepare an English version of the Avesta. He died in January 1877.[2]
