Letters sent by M. A. Castrén Matthias Alexander Castrén (1813–1852) was by far the most significant Finnish linguist of the 19th century. In addition to being a linguist he was also a multidisciplinary scholar. The present volume brings together all the currently known letters written by Castrén, both official and unofficial. Most of the letters date from the years he spent in the field, but there are also letters written in Finland before and after his expeditions. Altogether, this volume contains 231 letters.
