Wilhelm Mannhardt
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Wilhelm Mannhardt (March 26, 1831, Friedrichstadt – December 25, 1880, Danzig) was a German scholar and folklorist. He is known for his work on Baltic mythology, as a collector, and for his championing of the solar theory.
He carried out field work despite poor health. He was a forerunner of James Frazer's, and like Frazer, his theories have subsequently been heavily criticized.[1]
