"Matthias Norberg (1747-1826) was a central, but controversial figure in Oriental linguistics in Sweden. (...) Norberg is also known for his editions and translations of Syrian texts, and many of his dissertations were concerned with the pronunciation of Oriental languages and Greek. He worked to promote the study of the spoken register of these languages in university teaching." - E.Hovdhaugen et al. 'The history of linguistics in the nordic countries', Helsinki 2000, p.286.
