Hjalmar Frisk
Hjalmar Frisk (4 August 1900, in Gothenburg – 1 August 1984, in Gothenburg) was a Swedish linguist and etymologist in Indo-European studies. He was also rector of the University of Göteborg from 1951 to 1966.[1]
Early on, he became interested in Indo-European studies. Thus, as early as 1927, he published a translation of the historical account The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea, written in Greek under the title Περίπλους τῆς Ἐρυθρᾶς θαλάσσης.[2]
His most noted work was the three-volume Griechisches etymologisches Wörterbuch[3] (Greek Etymological Dictionary) written between 1954 and 1972 and published in Heidelberg, Germany.[4]
In 1968, he became a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.
