Hallgrímur Pétursson

1614‐74 Icelandic pastor and religious poet. He went to Copenhagen as a boy, where he became acquainted with a fellow countryman and bishop and studied at the Maria School. He later returned to Iceland and became a pastor, but he contracted leprosy and became blind in his later years before dying. He composed many devout church songs, didactic poems, and hymns, and his Passion Hymn (1666) is considered the finest piece of religious literature in Iceland.

1614‐74 アイスランドの牧師，宗教詩人。少年のころにコペンハーゲンに渡り，同国人の司教の知遇をえてマリア学校に学ぶ。後にアイスランドに戻って牧師になり，癩を患い晩年は盲目になって死ぬ。敬虔な教会歌，教訓詩，賛美歌を多くつくったが，とくに《受難賛美歌》(1666)はアイスランドで最もすぐれた宗教文学とみなされている。【谷口 幸男】 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第２版について 情報 |
