  • Bhí Robert Kirk (9 Nollaig 1644 - 14 Bealtaine 1692) ina mhinistir, ina scoláire Gaelach agus ina bhéaloideasóir. Is fearr aithne air as The Secret Commonwealth, bailiúchán de bhéaloideas a bhailigh sé i 1691-1692 agus a foilsíodh in 1815. Aiste ar fhinscéalta agus béaloideas atá san tráchtas seo, a phléann le sióga, draíocht caillí, taibhsí, fios , aireachtáil eischéadfacha curtha síos ag mhuintir na Gaeltachta in Albain mar fheiniméan. D'ainmnigh an béaloideasóir Stewart Sanderson agus an miotaseolaí Marina Warner bailiúchán scéalta osnádúrtha Kirk ar cheann de na saothair is tábhachtaí agus is suntasaí ar ábhar na sióg agus an fheasa. Ag deireadh na 1680idí, thaistil Kirk go Londain chun cuidiú le ceann de na chéad aistriúcháin den Bhíobla go Gaeilge na hAlban a fhoilsiú. Mhaoinigh an t-eolaí uasal Robert Boyle foilsiú an Bhíobla agus rinne sé fiosrúcháin ar thuairiscí Kirk ar an fios. Fuair Kirk bás sula raibh sé in ann The Secret Commonwealth a fhoilsiú. Tháinig finscéalta chun cinn tar éis bhás Kirk ag rá gur tugadh ar shiúl é chuig ríocht na sí as rúin na nDaoine Maithe a nochtadh. D’fhoilsigh an t-údar Albanach Walter Scott saothar Kirk ar na sióga den chéad uair níos mó ná céad bliain ina dhiaidh sin i 1815. Ina dhiaidh sin thug Andrew Lang an teideal The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies (1893) leabhar ar a raibh móréilimh air. Foilsíodh iliomad eagráin de The Secret Commonwealth ó shin, le hanailís scolártha suntasach le Sanderson, Mario M. Rossi, agus Michael Hunter . (ga)

Folklorist Stewart Sanderson and mythologist Marina Warner called Kirk's collection of supernatural tales one of the most important and significant works on the subject of fairies and second sight. In the late 1680s, Kirk travelled to London to help publish one of the first translations of the Bible into Scottish Gaelic. Gentleman scientist Robert Boyle financed the publication of the Gaelic Bible and pursued inquiries into Kirk's reports of second sight. Kirk died before he was able to publish The Secret Commonwealth. Legends arose after Kirk's death saying he had been taken away to fairyland for revealing the secrets of the Good People. Scottish author Walter Scott first published Kirk's work on fairies more than a century later in 1815. Andrew Lang later gave it the popular title, The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies (1893). Multiple editions of The Secret Commonwealth have since been published, with notable scholarly analysis by Sanderson, Mario M. Rossi, and Michael Hunter. (en)
