Njóla was first published in Viðey in 1842.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Björn Gunnlaugsson (September 28, 1788 – March 17, 1876) was a surveyor and author of astronomical works. He worked most of his life as a teacher, first at Bessastaðaskóli, but moved with the school to Reykjavík and later became head teacher. \u003cbr\u003eWhen Björn graduated in 1808, Geir Vídalín wrote his student report, in which he writes praiseworthy of his father, Gunnlaug Magnússon, and mentions him there as a great inventor: \"This praiseworthy young man [Björn the Younger] was born in the year after the birth of Christ 1788 at Tannstöðir in Húnavatnssýsla, whose father is Gunnlaugur Magnússon, a poor farmer, but in virtue and old unfaltering loyalty, a younger laggard, who is also endowed with academic gifts so versatile and agile, especially in surveying and construction, that he would easily deserve to be called our Archimedes' island, if he had not lacked the material and rules established by his art; as a witness here that I have not overpraised him, are the new machines that he has given us, for — to measure the path a man travels — to \"to set up fishing boats from the sea and — to compete with, besides others which themselves praise the extraordinary ingenuity of their author. From such a father is our praiseworthy young man born.\" \u003cbr\u003eBjarn's first wife was Ragnheiði Bjarnadóttir, widow of Jón adjunct Jónsson, who perished on a mail ship under the Black Sea in 1817. Their son and stepson of Björn was Bjarni Jónsson, rector. But Ragnheiður and Bjarn's daughter was Mrs. Ólöf, wife of rector Jens Sigurðsson. Ragnheiður died in 1834. Bjarn's second wife was Guðlaug Aradóttir, widow of Þórður, student Bjarnason. Björn and Guðlaug were not blessed with children who could bear children. Guðlaug died in 1873.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e During his years of study in Copenhagen, Björn earned two gold coins and, among other things, was an assistant to Heinrich Christian Schumacher, the German astronomer, in Holstein for two years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e www.wikipedia.org","brand":"Bókin.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51124284719432,"sku":"OSC-44092","price":19500.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/4029\/9848\/files\/66263.jpg?v=1754781408","url":"https:\/\/www.bokin.is\/en\/products\/njola-ea-hugmynd-um-alheimsaformi-68335-44092","provider":"bokin.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
