Christiern Pedersen
Christiern Pedersen (c. 1480–1554) was a Danish humanist, printer and translator, often called the father of Danish literature. Educated at Greifswald and Paris, he published a Latin-Danish dictionary in 1510 and the first printed edition of Saxo Grammaticus's Gesta Danorum in 1514.
Loyal to Christian II, he followed the exiled king to the Netherlands in 1526. He turned Lutheran in 1529 and issued his Danish translation of the New Testament.
After running a press in Malmø he completed the first full Danish Bible in 1543, printed in 1550. He died in 1554.
