Published by prominent Icelandic-Canadian printer, and publisher Ólafur S. Thorgeirsson (1895-1955). Thorgeirsson oversaw the publication of the seminal Icelandic periodical, 'Almanak' (see our listing No. 4064). Friðrik Jónsson Bergmann (1858-1918), was an essayist, academic, publisher, and a liberal clergyman affiliated with the Icelandic Lutheran Church. Born in Iceland, he emigrated to the United States in 1874, and subsequently graduating from Decorah College, Iowa. Beginning in 1902 he would teach Icelandic at Wesley College in Winnipeg, Canada. Additionally, he served as editor of the Icelandic-Canadian Journal (sponsored by the Evangelical Lutheran Church), 'Aldamot' [The Turn of the Century], which was published continuously between 1891-1903. "When Bergmann, a liberal theologian, parted ways with his more conservative colleagues, he founded the journal, Briedablik (Broad View, 1906-1914). He also wrote, compiled and translated other works." [Source: The Manitoba Historical Society & 'Icelandic Prose Writers', by Stefan Einarsson].
