I don't know anything about him, but prinssi might (if he's still around).
Kiipis. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Porthan?? That's my boy!! I don't know much about him. But off the top of my head...
The great scholar Henrik Gabriel Porthan (1739-1804), a student of Juslenius and a Fennophile, brought Finnish history-writing, study of mythology and folk poetry, and other humanistic sciences to an international level. His De Poësi Fennica (published in five parts 1776-78), a study on Finnish folk poetry, had great importance in awakening public interest in the Kalevala-poetry and Finnish mythology, and the study was also the basis of all later study of the poetry. He was among the founders of the Aurora Society that advocated Finnish literary pursuits and was the editor of the first Finnish newspaper, Tidningar utgifne af et sällskap i Åbo, founded in 1771.  | |
