Anne Vibeke Roggen (born 1 February 1952) is a Norwegian philologist, known for her translations from Latin and among the country's foremost experts on the humanist Niels Thomessøn.

## Career

[edit]

Roggen is Associate Professor at the University of Oslo, specialising in philology, Latin translation and the work of the priest Niels Thomessøn.[1][2] She demonstrated that his work "Cestus Sapphicus" is a rebus book, and not a textbook in Latin, as had been claimed by Francis Bull.[3] She has also worked on the reception of Latin in Norway, with a particular focus on texts composed before 1650.[4][5] In 2005, she was admitted to the Academia Latinitati Fovendae.[6] She writes and speaks widely about the value of studying classical history and its relevance to life today.[7]

In 2015, she worked on a new uncensored Norwegian-Latin dictionary, which included words for sexual acts which had been omitted from earlier dictionaries in order to avoid offending religious sensibilities.[8]

In 2018 she was outspoken against the dropping of the song Gaudeamus igitur from University of Oslo traditions.[9][10]
