Pádraig de Brún

Pádraig Monsignor de Brún (13 October 1889 – 5 June 1960), also called Patrick Joseph Monsignor Browne, was an Irish Roman Catholic priest, linguist, Classicist, and Celticist. With regard to his contribution to Modern literature in Irish, de Brún, who Louis de Paor termed in 2014 "one of the most distinguished literary figures of his time", was also a writer of Irish poetry in the Irish language and the literary translator of many of the greatest works of the Western canon into Modern Irish. The Monsignor served as President of University College, Galway (UCG), and was known in friendly and informal circles as Paddy Browne.
