About the author

Born in 1809 and died in 1874, Morris Williams was a Welsh clergyman and writer who is usually referred to by his bardic name, Nicander. He is associated with Welsh literary culture as both a poet and a churchman, and his life connected scholarship, religion, and the Welsh language.

He worked on the Welsh Prayer Book of 1841 and also produced a metrical Welsh version of the Psalms of David. Those projects helped secure his reputation as a careful literary craftsman whose writing served both devotional life and the wider tradition of Welsh letters.

Available sources found here identify him clearly, but they do not provide a suitable confirmed portrait photograph. Because of that, no profile image is included.
