"KUNO MEYER (1858 – 1919) was a German scholar, distinguished in the field of Celtic philology and literature. Meyer founded the School of Irish Learning in Dublin, and the next year created its journal Ériu, of which he was the editor. Also in 1904 he became Todd Professor in the Celtic Languages at the Royal Irish Academy." -- Wikipeda
