Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Biography: from UCC Libraries Professor Tadhg Ó Donnchadha (1874-1949), also known as Torna, was an Irish writer, poet, editor, translator and Prof. of Irish at University College Cork (1916-1944). He was born in Cork and attended the North Monastery school. In 1892 he went to St. Patrick's College, Drumcondra, Dublin and afterwards worked as a teacher in Dublin, where he was involved in events surrounding the Irish-language revival and gave classes between 1893-1894. He was a founding member of the Keating branch of the Gaelic League in Dublin and edited the journal Banba. From 1902-1909 he was the editor of Irisleabhar na Gaeilge.
Provenance: This copy of Irish Minstrels and Musicians (1913) by Capt. Francis O'Neill is held in the Special Collections & Archives, UCC Library, University College Cork, Ireland. Special thanks to Garret Cahill of UCC's Boole Library. Though this signature is not O'Neill's, the importance of Tadhg Ó Donnchadha (Torna) in Irish language circles is notable, and that he owned a copy of O'Neill's Irish Minstrels and Musicians speaks volumes.
