Didrik Arup Seip (31 August 1884 – 3 May 1963) was Professor of North Germanic languages at the University of Oslo. He earned his doctorate (dr.philos.) in 1916 and was appointed professor the same year, retiring in 1954. Together with Herman Jæger, he edited and published the collected works of Henrik Wergeland in 23 volumes (''Samlede Skrifter : trykt og utrykt'', 1918–1940). From 1937 until 1945, he served as the rector of the university. Seip was a member of the Administrative Council, the temporary civil government of Norway during German military occupation, in 1940. He was removed from his post as rector of the university in 1941. He was interned by the Nazis at Grini concentration camp, and was later transferred to Sachsenhausen, but was released in 1943 as a direct result of the efforts made by the Swedish explorer Sven Hedin, using Hedin's relations with many high-ranking German Nazi officials, including Hitler. He wrote about his life during the war in his 1946 book: At home and in enemy country.〔Seip, Didrik Arup. 1946. Hjemme og i fiendeland 1940-45.
