About the author

Born in 1781 and deceased in 1867, Carl Johan Holm was a Swedish priest. The information confirmed here identifies him primarily through that role, placing him within the learned clergy tradition that shaped much of Sweden’s religious and literary life in the 1800s.

Although detailed biographical records were limited in the sources available, Holm appears to have been notable enough to merit a dedicated encyclopedia entry and surviving portrait. That suggests a public life connected to the church and to writing or publishing, making him a figure of interest for readers drawn to older Scandinavian religious and cultural history.
