Edmund Hogan
Edmund Hogan S.J. (1831–1917) was a Jesuit scholar.
Edmund Ignatius Hogan was born in Cork on 25 January 1831. He joined the Society of Jesus and studied for the priesthood in Belgium and France. He returned to Ireland where he taught German for a year at Clongowes Wood College and then languages and music in the Sacred Heart College, Limerick.
After extensive research in Rome he published a history of the Jesuits in Ireland and a life of Saint Patrick. He lectured on Irish language and history at University College Dublin, and was Todd Professor (Celtic) at the Royal Irish Academy.
His works include Distinguished Irishmen of the 16th Century (1894), the Irish Phrase Book (1899) and Onomasticon Goedelicum: An Index to Irish Names of Places and Tribes (1910), a standard reference based on the research of John O'Donovan, The Irish Wolfhound, A Description of Ireland in 1598 and Chronological list of the Irish members of the Society of Jesus, 1550-1814; he also contributed to the editing and compilation of other works in his field.
He died on 26 November 1917.[1]
