ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I am born on the small island Fyn, Denmark in a Lutheran family of farmers. After some years of practical farming and studies in agronomy and botany (PhD) at the Agricultural University, Copenhagen I became employed with the Danish State Seed Testing Station, and for 40 years national and international seed testing were my way of living.
A seed sample from Israel initiated my studies on the fascinating plants of the Bible, and the first book on the subject "Biblens Planter" (‘Plants of the Bible’) was published in 1974.
The contents of the present PLANT WORLD OF THE BIBLE is an updated version of my latest book in Danish: "Bibelens Planteverden" from 2004, which includes inter alia information on identification of Hebrew and Greek plant names in the Bible, and on archaeological finds of Biblical plants in Israel and adjacent countries.
I have published more than 120 scientific contributions on: content of seeds in arable soil, development and storage of grass seeds, germination of old seeds, identification of seeds and other publications on seed testing, and papers on archaeological-historical investigations of seeds and other macrofossils in Danish towns, dated to the Viking and Medieval Age. (Thesis work for the degree: dr. agro.). A list of my recent books is printed opposite the title page in this book.
Together with my wife Lisbeth I am living in a small village Slagslunde, 35 km NW of Copenhagen, Denmark. I am giving lectures on the plants in the Bible, work on publishing books on the subject as well as on plant names and on historical subjects. Further, I am member of our local parish church and active in the Danish Bible Society (chairman of the board for Elsinore Diocese).
