Mikael Agricola
Mikael Agricola (c. 1510 –
April 9, 1557) was a
Finnish clergyman who became de facto founder of written
Finnish and one of the prominent proponents of the
Protestant Reformation in
Sweden-Finland. He is often called "the father of Finnish written language." Agricola was consecrated as the bishop of Turku in 1554 without papal approval. As a result, he began a reform of the Finnish church along Lutheran lines. He translated the New Testament, the prayerbook, hymns, and the mass into Finnish, and through this work set the rules of orthography that are the basis of modern Finnish spelling. His thoroughgoing work is particularly remarkable in that he accomplished it in only three years. He died suddenly on a return trip from negotiating a treaty with the Russians.
