Heortology : A history of the Christian festivals from their origin to the present day
by K. A. Heinrich (Karl Adam Heinrich) Kellner
About the author
Born in 1837 and dying in 1915, Karl Adam Heinrich Kellner was a German Roman Catholic priest, theologian, and academic. Sources describe him as a scholar of church history and pastoral theology, and records also identify him as a translator.
He is most closely associated with Heortology, his study of the history and development of the Christian festivals and church year. That book helped make his name known beyond German-speaking readers, especially through its English translation.
Although reliable bibliographic and authority sources confirm his dates, fields, and major work, I could not verify many more personal details from the material retrieved here. I also could not confirm a suitable portrait image from the pages examined, so no profile image is included.
