About the author

Dr. Kuno Meyer, Ph.D. (University of Leipzig, 1884) was a scholar of Celtic philology and literature; lecturer in Teutonic languages at University College, Liverpool, England; and Todd Professor in the Celtic Languages at the Royal Irish Academy, later serving as Professor of Celtic Philology at Friedrich Wilhelm University, Berlin. During WWI, he lectured widely in the U.S., causing controversy for his pro-German views. Dublin councilman W.T. Cosgrave called Meyer, "the greatest Celtic authority since the death of Whitley Stokes."
