Frederick J. Klaeber (born Friedrich J. Klaeber) (1863–1954) was a German philologist who was Professor of Old and Middle English at the University of Minnesota. His edition of the poem "Beowulf", published as "Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg", is considered a classic work of "Beowulf" scholarship; it has been in print continuously since 1922.
Professor Klaeber's admirers have produced this miscellany to honour him "on his sixty-fifth birthday, which marks also the completion of thirty-five years of service in the University of Minnesota."
