by Joseph Anthony Vaeth
Born on January 11, 1876, Joseph Anthony Vaeth was an American academic and author associated with New York University. Available library and authority records also connect him with studies at the University of Missouri, Columbia University, the University of Paris, and the University of Madrid.
Vaeth is best remembered for Tirant lo Blanch: A Study of Its Authorship, Principal Sources and Historical Setting, published in 1918. The book shows his interest in medieval Iberian literature and careful literary scholarship.
Records indicate that he died on October 3, 1938. While detailed biographical information is limited in the sources I could confirm, he appears to have spent much of his professional life in modern-language teaching and research.
