A Danish scholar and historical writer; born about 1480, at Svendborg on the island of Fuynen; died 1554. He was an ardent Reformer. By his translation of Luther's Bible-the "Bible of Christian III"., so called-he contributed largely to the formation of the literary language of Denmark. He wrote several historical works, and translated the "Danish History" of Saxo Grammaticus.
