About the author
Born in 1809 and dying in 1874, he was a Welsh writer and cleric whose literary life was closely tied to the language and culture of Wales. He is commonly referred to as Nicander, a bardic name used to distinguish him from others with the same surname.
His work included involvement with the Welsh Prayer Book of 1841, and he also produced a metrical Welsh version of the Psalms of David. That combination of religious scholarship and literary craft helped give him a lasting place in Welsh letters.
Available source material is quite brief, but it consistently presents him as a respected cleric and writer whose legacy rests on his contribution to Welsh-language religious literature.
