Eduard Seler

Eduard Georg Seler (December 5, 1849 – November 23, 1922) was a prominent anthropologist, ethnohistorian, linguist, epigrapher, academic and Americanist scholar, who made extensive contributions in these fields towards the study of pre-Columbian cultures in the Americas. He is most renowned for his foundational studies concerning the ethnography, documents and history of Mesoamerican cultures, for which he has been regarded as one of the most influential Mesoamericanist scholars active around the turn of the 20th century.
