John Rhys

    21 juin 1840 – 17 décembre 1915

    Sir John Rhys fut un érudit gallois distingué et une autorité prééminente dans le domaine des langues celtiques. Sa réputation fut établie par des conférences influentes, publiées plus tard sous le titre Lectures on Welsh Philology, qui aboutirent à sa nomination comme premier professeur de celtique à l'Université d'Oxford. L'érudition dévouée de Rhys a fait progresser de manière significative la compréhension et l'étude de la philologie celtique.
