Nicholas Thyr
Department of Celtic Languages and Literatures
Nicholas' interests lie mostly in medieval Irish literature, both early (Fingal Rónáin, Bethu Brigte) and late (the poetry of Tadhg Dall Ó hUiginn). He has published on the origins of the Navigatio sancti Brendani, and, for his thesis, is studying the transmission of a corpus of homiletic Irish saints’ Lives from the tenth through twelfth centuries
