Oddur Gottskálksson was the translator of the first book printed in Icelandic, the New Testament. Oddur was born in Hólar where his father, Gottskálk grimmi Nikulásson was bishop.

When he was a young adult, he went to study in Germany, where he became acquainted with the ideas of the Protestant Reformation.
