Saemund

Saemund the wise (1056-1133) was an Icelander and Christian priest, who studied in Paris. He founded a long-lived school in Oddi.

The authorship of the Elder Edda, or, more plausibly, just the editor's role in the compilation, have traditionally been attributed to him. This idea dates back the discovery in 1643 of the Codex Regius manuscript.
