Owen Connellan
Owen Connellan (1797–4 August 1871) was an Irish scholar who translated the Annals of the Four Masters into English in 1846.
==Life==
He was born in County Sligo, the son of a farmer who claimed descent from Lóegaire mac Néill, High King of Ireland in the fifth century. He studied Irish literature and obtained employment as a scribe with the Royal Irish Academy. Over the following twenty years he copied a great part of the Books of Lecan and Ballymote.
When King George IV visited Ireland Connellan translated his "Letter to the Irish people" into Irish, and was appointed Irish historiographer to the king. When Queen's College was opened he was appointed professor of Irish at Cork. Despite some issues with the college president, Robert Kane, he held the chair until 1863. He lived for many years in Dublin and died at his house in Burlington Road in 1871.〔RIA, Dictionary of Irish Biography, 2009, p. 749〕
His most important work was ''Imtheacht na Tromdhaimhe, or, The proceedings of the great Bardic Institution'', which relates how Senchán Torpéist recovered the Táin Bó Cúailnge, one of the most famous tales of the Irish bards.
