- Short biography
- 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."

"Erin and Alba" -that is, Ireland and (Gaelic) Scotland. Notable for including his version of the Children of Lir. This may be another of the texts I bought for the Celtic and Germanic folklore honors class at Bowling Green, but I am less sure of it.
