'''Hermann Pálsson''' (26 May 1921 – 11 August 2002) was an [[Icelandic language]] scholar and translator, "one of the most distinguished scholars of Icelandic studies of his generation".<ref name="IndepObit" /> Often working in collaboration with others such as [[Magnus Magnusson]] or [[Paul Edwards (literary scholar)|Paul Edwards]], he translated around 40 works of [[medieval]] [[Icelandic literature]].

==Life==
Hermann Pálsson was born at Saueanes á ásum, a farm near [[Bl?nduós]] and the [[Húnafj?rdur]] in the north of [[Iceland]] in 1921. Though he was the sixth of 12 children, and the family was not rich, he managed to gain a degree in Icelandic Studies at the [[University of Iceland]] in [[Reykjavík]] in 1947. From there he moved to take another honours degree, in Irish Studies, at the [[National University of Ireland]] in [[Dublin]] in 1950.<ref name="IndepObit" />

His first books reflected his [[Celts|Celtic]] interests: a volume of ancient Irish tales, ''Irskar forns?gur'' (1953), and another of [[Gaelic poetry]] from the [[Hebrides]], ''S?ngvar frá Sudureyjum'' (1955), both translated into Icelandic. He also learned [[Welsh language|Welsh]] in the 1950s. Decades later he would recount "the sufferings of a loquacious and not utterly teetotal young Icelander 'immersed' in a Calvinistic – and dry – village in [[Gwynedd]]."<ref name="IndepObit" />

In 1950 he was appointed Lecturer in Icelandic in the Department of [[English language|English Language]] at the [[University of Edinburgh]]. In 1953 he married Stella Torvareardóttir. Appointed to a personal chair as Professor of Icelandic Studies in 1982, he retired in 1988, becoming an Honorary Fellow of Scandinavian Studies at Edinburgh. He continued to publish books, articles and scholarly editions, including editions of the great [[Eddic poems]] ''[[Hávamál]]'' and ''[[V?luspá]]''. ''Keltar á Islandi'' (1996) was a study of the [[Celts]] and Celtic influence in Iceland. He died at [[Bourgas]] in Bulgaria on 11 August 2002.<ref name="IndepObit" />
