Lhuyd, Edward

    0.01 sec.

Lhuyd, Edward (1660–1709)

English scholar and naturalist. In 1690 he became head keeper of the Ashmolean Museum in 1690. He travelled in all the Celtic-speaking countries and studied their languages.

He was born near Oswestry, Shropshire. His two most important publications are Lithophylacii Britannici iconographia (1699), a catalogue of the figured fossils in the Ashmolean Museum, and volume I (the only one published) of his Archaeologica Britannica (1707), a study of Celtic languages that is still useful.
