John Rhys

    21. Juni 1840 – 17. Dezember 1915

    Sir John Rhys war ein herausragender walisischer Gelehrter und eine führende Autorität auf dem Gebiet der keltischen Sprachen. Sein Ruf wurde durch einflussreiche Vorträge gefestigt, die später als Lectures on Welsh Philology veröffentlicht wurden und zu seiner Ernennung zum ersten Professor für Keltologie an der Universität Oxford führten. Rhys' engagierte wissenschaftliche Arbeit trug maßgeblich zum Verständnis und zur Erforschung der keltischen Philologie bei.
