Emil Schreiner

He studied in Berlin for one year and also worked as a teacher of the secondary school Nissens Latin- og Realskole.

He wrote his only academic paper, Om Forholdet mellom rythmus og metrum, but it was not published until 1866, when Schreiner had returned to the school system.

[1] In 1887, Schreiner published the Latin-Norwegian dictionary Latinsk Ordbog together with Jan Johanssen and Marius Nygaard, a book which is still in use—it has been updated and reissued, last in 1998.

Despite having only worked one year at a university, as research fellow, Schreiner was also made a member of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters from 1887.

In December 1875, he was a part of the majority of the committee which appointed Johan Peter Weisse as professor, in preference to Jan Johanssen.
