Willard Fiske

    11 november 1831 – 17 september 1904

    Daniel Willard Fiske was een Amerikaanse bibliothecaris en geleerde die erkenning kreeg als autoriteit op het gebied van Noord-Europese talen, met een bijzondere focus op de IJslandse taal en cultuur. Zijn academische loopbaan omvatte studies in zowel Europa als de Verenigde Staten, wat culmineerde in een belangrijke rol bij de oprichting en ontwikkeling van de bibliotheek van Cornell University. Fiske's werk duikt diep in taalkundig en cultureel begrip, wat hem vestigt als een cruciale figuur in de Noord-Europese studies. Zijn nalatenschap ligt in het verrijken van de academische wereld met waardevolle kennis en in het opbouwen van fundamentele bronnen voor toekomstig onderzoek.
