Michael Viggo Fausböll (22 September 1821 – 3 June 1908) was a Danish educator, translator, orientalist and linguist. He is most noted as a pioneer of Pāli scholarship. [1]
His version of the Dhammapada was published in 1855 with a new edition in 1900. It formed the basis for the first translation of this text into English, by philologist, Max Müller (1823–1900) in the Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set published by Oxford University Press between 1879 and 1910.[2]
He became a Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog in 1888, Dannebrogsmand in 1891 and Commander 2nd degree in 1898. He died at Gentofte in 1908 and was buried at Gentofte Cemetery.
