Everything about Sophus Bugge totally explained
Sophus Bugge (
1833-
1907) was a
Norwegian philologist, known for his work on the
runic alphabet and the
Eddas.
Bugge was born at
Laurvik, Norway,
5 January 1833. He was educated at
Christiania,
Copenhagen and
Berlin, and in
1866 he became professor of comparative philology and
Old Norse at
Christiania University. In addition to collecting Norwegian
folksongs and traditions, and writing on
Runic inscriptions, he made considerable contributions to the study of the
Celtic,
Romance,

Scandinavian literature by way of
England. His writings also include

1858), a collection of Old Norse folk-songs;
Bidrag til den aeldste skaldedigtnings historie (Christiania,
