The Learned Estonian Society ((エストニア語:Õpetatud Eesti Selts), (ドイツ語:Gelehrte Estnische Gesellschaft), shortened ÕES) is Estonia's oldest scholarly organisation, and was formed at the University of Tartu in 1838.〔Toivo Miljan, ''Historical Dictionary of Estonia'', Scarecrow Press 2004, ISBN 0-8108-4904-6, page 221〕 Its charter was to study Estonia's history and pre-history, its language, literature and folklore. Friedrich Robert Faehlmann, Alexander Friedrich von Hueck and Dietrich Hienrich Jürgenson led the society that consisted of Estonian and Estophile Baltic German intellectuals. The society provides language analysis services in addition to assistance in the development of the scientific study of history, archeology, ethnography, numismatics and art history. The society published yearbooks, bibliographies and ''Proceedings''. The initial version of Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald's Kalevipoeg was published in its ''Proceedings'' between 1857 and 1861. In 1950 the Soviet occupation authorities shut down the society and split its collection of 25,000 books, 160,000 pages of manuscripts and 60,000 ethnographical items between several other institutes. The society was restored in 1988 on the initiative of Professor Herbert Ligi of Tartu University. As of 2015, the society's board of directors was: Mart Kuldkepp, Taavi Pae, Marju Luts-Sootak, Tiit Rosenberg, Kersti Taal, Tõnu-Andrus Tannberg, Heiki Valk, and Piret Õunapuu.〔http://www.ut.ee/OES/juhatus/, accessed 1 September 2015.〕 ==See also== *Society of Estonian Literati 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Learned Estonian Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
