Talk:Birger Nerman

Untitled
The article on Nerman in Svenskt biografiskt lexikon does not mentioning him teaching as a "temporary professor", or any other kind of professor, in 1917 and 1920, as this article claims. What is "temporary professor" supposed to mean? "Tillförordnad professor"? Either way I can't verify it. He did not become a docent of archaeology until 1919, and a professor only when he got the position in Dorpat in 1923. Olaus 11:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * In sv:Birger Nerman it says "tillförordnat professor". In the preface to his 1925 book he writes that it is based on lectures for Uppsala students in the fall of 1920 and in spring and fall of 1921. /Pieter Kuiper 11:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If no good secondary source supports it, the Swedish Wikipedia is most likely incorrect. He may well have lectured (as a docent) in 1920 and 1921 without holding a professorial appointment. Olaus 14:48, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
