Eoin MacNeill ((アイルランド語:Eoin Mac Néill); 15 May 1867 – 15 October 1945) was an Irish scholar, Irish language enthusiast, nationalist activist, and Sinn Féin politician.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Professor Eoin MacNeill )〕 MacNeill has been described as "the father of the modern study of early Irish medieval history." A key figure of the Gaelic revival, he was a co-founder of the Gaelic League, to preserve Irish language and culture. In 1913 he established the Irish Volunteers and served as their Chief-of-Staff. He held this position at the outbreak of the Easter Rising but had no role in it or its planning, which was carried out by IRB infiltrators. MacNeill helped countermand the Easter Monday uprising, after learning about it and confronting Patrick Pearse, by placing a last minute news advertisement advising Voluteers not to take part, thus reducing the number of rebel combatants actively taking part, thus lessening the numbers of casualties and fatalities overall. He was later elected to the First Dáil as a member of Sinn Féin. ==Early life== MacNeill was born John McNeill,〔, p. 433〕 the son of a Roman Catholic working class "baker, sailor and merchant" and was reared in Glenarm, County Antrim, an area which "still retained some Irish-language traditions." He was educated at St Malachy's College (Belfast) and Queen's College, Belfast. MacNeill had an enormous interest in Irish history and immersed himself in its study. In 1888 he achieved a BA degree in economics, jurisprudence and constitutional history and then worked as civil-servant clerk.〔 In 1893 he co-founded the Gaelic League, along with Douglas Hyde, and was unpaid secretary from 1893-97, and then became the initial editor of the League’s official newspaper ''An Claideamh Soluis'' (1899–1901).〔 He was also editor of the ''Gaelic Journal'' from 1894-1899''.'' In 1908, he was appointed professor of early Irish history at University College Dublin (UCD). He married Agnes Moore on 19 April 1898; the couple had eight children, four sons and four daughters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eoin MacNeill」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
