Don Martino de Zilva Wickremasinghe (1865–1937) was an epigraphist and archeologist of Sri Lanka.[1] He studied at Richmond College, Galle.[2] Subsequently, he worked as an assistant to H. C. P. Bell as served as the epigraphist to the Ceylon Government.[3] He became archaeological commissioner after Bell, preceding Senarath Paranavitana in that position. His most important contribution was serving as editor and part author of the first two volumes of Epigraphia Zeylanica, a key source for the early history of Ceylon. He handed responsibility for volume 3 of Epigraphia Zeylanica to Paranavitana "...owing to reasons of health and the multifarious duties at the University of London."[4] During his time in London, Wickremasinghe prepared a catalogue of the Sinhalese books in the library of the British Museum.[5]<br /><br />see also Thuppahi.wordpress.cp,
