Absalon Pederssøn Beyer

Absalon Pederssøn Beyer

Absalon Pederssøn Beyer (c. 1528 – c. 1575) was a Norwegian clergyman, author and lecturer. He is best known today for his diary or annal of contemporary events in Bergen during a period of humiliation in Norwegian history.

Born in Aurland, Sogn, Norway, he got his education in Copenhagen and Wittenberg. He taught theology at Bergen katedralskole. In 1566, he let his students perform "The Fall of Adam" in church. This is thought to be the first public theatrical performance in Norway. Beyer wrote historic-topographic works such as "Om Norigs Rige", and "Bergens kapitelsbok". He died in 1575. His widow, Anne Pedersdotter, was accused of witchcraft and was burned in 1590.
