Dansk Biografisk Leksikon (usually abbreviatedDBL; title of first edition writtenDansk biografisk Lexikon) is aDanishbiographical dictionary that has been published in three editions. The first edition,Dansk biografisk Lexikon, tillige omfattende Norge for tidsrummet 1537–1814 ("...including Norway for the period 1537–1814") was published in nineteen volumes 1887–1905 under the editorship of the historianCarl Frederik Bricka. The first edition, which is in thepublic domain is available online atProjekt Runeberg.
Later editions were published 1933–1934 (27 volumes) and 1979–1984 (16 volumes). While some of the biographies from the previous editions have been updated in the third edition, many others – considered of less contemporary relevance – were left out and need to be consulted in its predecessors.
Searchable online access to the articles, some of which have been updated, is available from Gyldendal'sDen Store Danske website.[1]
