BUGGE, SOPHUS (18331907) ,
Norwegian
  philologist, was born at Laurvik, Norway, on the 5th of 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
  folk-songs and traditions, and writing on Runic
inscriptions
 , he made considerable contributions to the study of the Celtic, Romance, Oscan, Umbrian and
Etruscan
  languages. He was the author of a very large number of books on philology and folklore. His principal
work
 , a
critical
  edition of the elder Edda (Norroen Fornkvoedi), was published at Christiania in 1867. He maintained that the songs of the Edda and the earlier sagas were largely founded on Christian and Latin tradition imported into Scandinavian literature by way of England. His writings also include Gamle Norske Folkeviser (1858), a collection of Old Norse folk,
songs; Bidrag til den aeldste skaldedigtnings kistorie (Christiania, 1894); Helge-digtene i den Aeldre Edda (Copenhagen, 1896,
Eng. trans., The
Home
  of the Eddic Poems, 1899) ; Norsk Sagafortaelling op Sagaskrivning i
Island
  (Christiania, 1901), and various books on Runic
inscriptions
 . He died on the 8th of July
1907.
For a further
list
  of his works see J. B. Halvorsen, Norsk Forfatter-Lexikon, vol. i. (Christiania, 1885).
