Alfred Nutt

Alfred Trubner Nutt (1856-1910) was a British publisher, now known for his writing as folklorist and Celticist. He was the son of David Nutt, a London publisher. He was educated at University College London School and College de Vitry-le-Francais, in Maine, France. He then took over the business of his late father.

He was a friend and supporter of Jessie Weston, sharing her interest in Celtic origins of the Grail legend, and publishing some of her books.
