About the author

Born in Turku on March 18, 1818, Gustaf Edvard Ingelius was a Finnish librarian and cultural historian. Finnish biographical sources describe him as the son of cleric Gustaf Johan Ingelius and Anna Maria Geitlin, and note that he died in Paris on November 14, 1864.

Ingelius is associated with scholarly and literary work rather than popular fiction. Public-domain records show that his writings include Om medeltidens skådespel and other historical texts, reflecting a strong interest in cultural history and older literature.

His reputation today rests on that combination of archival care and historical curiosity. Even though detailed English-language biographical information is limited, the surviving references present him as part of Finland's 19th-century intellectual world, with a lasting footprint in libraries and digital archives.
