The Book and Its Author
“Presten som ikke kunde brukes” was written in Norwegian but printed in the U.S., using fraktur (“gothic”) type several decades after Norway itself had gone over to Roman type. The most likely reason is that the book’s target audience had learned to read Norwegian when fraktur was still the norm. Unlike most fraktur texts, the book generally uses boldface instead of “gesperrt” (spaced-out) type for emphasis, while non-Norwegian words are shown in quotation marks instead of being printed in “Antiqua” (Roman) type.
The “Folkebladet” mentioned in the introduction is probably the Norwegian-language weekly newspaper published in Minneapolis, 1877-1952.
Carl Edin Nordberg was born in 1880, presumably in Norway. At the time of his death in 1926, he was professor of Norwegian and Religion at St. Olaf College in Minnesota.
The form of quotation marks (single ’ or double ”, high “ or low „) is as in the original. Usage was adjusted in cases of ambiguity or clear error.
The spelling of names and of English words was corrected only when the expected form could be found elsewhere in the text.
