Life
Lobel was born Mary Doreen Rogers in Bristol on 25 June 1900.[1] She went to Clifton High School and during a school vacation she helped the coptologist W.E. Crum to prepare his A Coptic Dictionary.[1] Mary Rogers graduated from St Hugh's College, Oxford in the 1920s and spent a short period teaching in Norwich.[1] In 1927 she married Edgar Lobel (1888–1982), a papryrologist and future editor of Greek lyric poetry whom she had met through Crum.[1] They were married for 55 years, until Edgar Lobel's death in 1982.[1]
Mary Lobel worked on the Victoria County History as a contributor to A History of the County of Oxford from the 1930s and as its Oxfordshire county editor from the 1950s until 1972. Thereafter she concentrated on editing the three-volume British Atlas of Historic Towns.[1] While editing the Victoria County History, Lobel was also a librarian at Somerville College, Oxford.[1]
Lobel was made an OBE in 1990.[1]
