Wikipedia
Bertel Christian Ægidius (born Gjødesen 23 November 1673 in Bylderup , died 3 April 1733 in Varnæs ) was a Danish priest and hymn writer
Ægidius was the son of the priest Gjøde Laurentsen in Bylderup and Mette Enevoldsdatter, a sister of Johannes Ewald's grandfather. In 1701 he became a priest in Varnæs. He belonged to the Pietist movement, which at the time had pushed forward across the language line between German and Danish church language.

Berthold Christian Gjødesen/Ægidius
Præst i Varnæs ved Aabenraa Fjord
Bertel Christian Giødesen, Bertel Christian Ægidius , 23.11.1673-3.4.1733, priest, hymn poet. Born in Bylderup, died in Varnæs, buried sst. G. was matriculated in Kiel 1693. As a student he published in 1700 a time-typical, quote-laden and bombastic eulogy (Ehren-Pyramide) over a 1697 deceased provost in Tønder, and n.å. he became parish priest in Varnæs south of Åbenrå fjord where he worked until his death. In 1717 he published A New Book of Psalms (414 hymns, here for the first time with numbers) to which was added A Little Devotional Prayer Book.The book is anonymous but the publisher is hinted at by the initials of the last three words of the preface: Promote the Glory of Christ. This "Flensburg" or "Varnæs-Psalm Book" illustrates the penetration and translation of the beginning pietism into Danish in the border region between the two languages. Its spiritual attitude is evident from the fact that after hymns to the church year, in addition to sections on the sacraments and on death and eternal life, there are detailed sections on penance and penance, on justification, on a divine life, on false and hypocritical Christianity, on the consolation and consolation of the soul. , on cross and sorrow. G. was of Danish descent - partly Schleswig (the mother was aunt of Enevold Ewald ), partly royal (in his grandmother's family tree are AS Vedel and Hans Tausen, and one uncle was the book printer Joh. Laverentzenin Copenhagen, who in 1709 published a hymn book for house devotion with 1010 numbers) - he had, however, gained German spiritual influence.
But precisely Pietism, though German, by making Christianity so personal, brought the Danish mother tongue in Schleswig to new meaning. As the Danish church language during this period spread in some parishes south of Tønder, so in the clergy circles felt the need for a new Danish hymnal. Kingos was authorized in the kingdom and the parts of Schleswig that had Danish canon law, but in the diocese of Schleswig different hymn books were used: in 1712 two German hymn books saw the light of day in the Gottorp countries, and in some places, such as Tønder, Løgumkloster and Højer, they even sang German hymns also at the Danish sermon. Perhaps stimulated by his uncle's book of hymns and supported by some local clergy, including his two brothers and Provost Sam. Reimarus in Tønder, G. then, probably 1713-14, prepared his hymn book which the Gottorp government intended to authorize in Åbenrå and Tønder counties.However, it was only published after being reviewed both in the diocese and by the most friendly of the Copenhagen theologians, prof.Hans Steenbuch . From the Gottorp side, one would probably prefer to avoid the royal. Danish kings and also from the side of the new revival. G. seems to have deliberately avoided the hymns recorded by Kingo in the recorded hymns, but he recorded his sacrament hymns in the hymnal: O Jesu, paa din Alterfod (in some German-like form which has many parallels: Herr Jesu, paa din Alterfod). For the Gospels he himself composed hymns which, however, are far from comparable to Kingos. The use of the older Danish hymn poetry, especially Hans Chr. Sthens, is also sparse. Most of the hymns are translations from German by G. himself or - in the case of older translations - by him brought closer to the German originals whose opening lines are printed. In 1731, E. Ewald tried to get his cousin's hymnbook entry into Copenhagen. by providing part of the edition with a new title page bearing the imprint of Steenbuch on the back. In 1734, however, Bishop Christian Worm lodged a complaint against the book with Christian VI: several hymns were distorted and illegitimate, and the mention of the authorities in the litany was unclear, but Ewald explained that this was because the hymnal had been created under the uncertain conditions of the war. In fact, the idea of Gottorp authorization had lapsed upon the incorporation of the ducal part in 1721. The Psalm Book of Psalms was reprinted in 1744, 1755 and 1765, in a few Schleswig parishes it was used for over a hundred years.It could only become a transitional phenomenon. Danish hymn poetry appeared here almost as a reverberation of German. The year before G.'s death, Brorson heralded a new Danish pietistic hymn poem which was to surpass the German one. Pontoppidan's hymn book 1740 contained the entire older Danish hymn treasure and a richer selection of the pietistic; it became the actual Schleswig. But Pontoppidan had occupied approx. 50 of G's translations and hymns; from here some entered the North Schleswig hymnal in 1890, and in Landstad's Norwegian hymnal for church and home G. is mentioned as a translator at nos. 407 and 464.Pontoppidan's hymn book 1740 contained the entire older Danish hymn treasure and a richer selection of the pietistic; it became the actual Schleswig.

Bertel Christian Giødesen
Bertel Christian Giødesen, Bertel Christian Ægidius, 23.11.1673-3.4.1733, præst, salmedigter. Født i Bylderup, død i Varnæs, begravet sst. G. blev immatrikuleret i Kiel 1693. Som student udgav han 1700 en tidstypisk, citatbelæsset og bombastisk lovtale (Ehren-Pyramide) over en 1697 afdød provst i Tønder, og n.å. blev han sognepræst i Varnæs syd for Åbenrå fjord hvor han virkede til sin død. 1717 udgav han En nye Psalme-Bog (414 salmer, her for første gang med numre) hvortil var føjet En liden andægtig Bønne-Bog. Bogen er anonym men udgiveren antydes ved forbogstaverne i fortalens tre sidste ord: Befordre Christi Ære. Denne "Flensborg-" eller "Varnæs-Salmebog" illustrerer den begyndende pietismes indtrængen og omsætning til dansk i grænseegnen mellem de to sprog. Dens åndelige indstilling fremgår af at der efter salmer til kirkeåret foruden afsnit om sakramenterne og om død og evigt liv, findes udførlige partier om bod og poenitens, om retfærdiggørelsen, om et gudeligt levned, om den falske og hykleriske kristendom, om sjælens trøst og husvalelse, om kors og drøvelse. G. var af dansk slægt ? dels slesvigsk (moderen var faster til Enevold Ewald), dels kongerigsk (i hans farmors stamtræ findes A. S. Vedel og Hans Tausen, og en farbror var bogtrykkeren Joh. Laverentzen i Kbh., som 1709 udgav en salmebog til husandagt med 1010 numre) ? han havde imidlertid fået tysk åndelig påvirkning.
Men netop pietismen bragte, skønt tysk, ved at gøre kristendommen så personlig det danske modersmål i Slesvig til ny betydning. Som dansk kirkesprog i denne periode bredte sig i nogle sogne syd for Tønder, således føltes i præstekredsene trang til en ny dansk salmebog. Kingos var autoriseret i kongeriget og de dele af Slesvig som havde dansk kirkeret, men i Slesvig stift brugtes der forskellige salmebøger: 1712 så to tyske salmebøger dagens lys i de gottorpske lande, og nogle steder, som Tønder, Løgumkloster og Højer sang man endog tyske salmer også ved den danske prædiken. Måske stimuleret ved farbroderens sysler med salmebøger og støttet af nogle præster på egnen, deriblandt hans to brødre og provst Sam. Reimarus i Tønder, udarbejdede G. da, vistnok 1713-14, sin salmebog som den gottorpske regering tænkte at autorisere i Åbenrå og Tønder amter. Den udkom dog først efter at være gennemset både i stiftet og af den mod vækkelsen mest venlige af de københavnske teologer, prof. Hans Steenbuch. Fra gottorpsk side ville man vistnok helst undgå den kgl. danske kingoske og ligeså fra den nye vækkelses side. G. synes bevidst at være gået uden om de i den optagne salmer af Kingo, men han optog dennes i salmebogen forbigåede nadversalme: O Jesu, paa din Alterfod (i noget tyskpræget form som har mange sidestykker: Herr Jesu, paa din Alterfod). Til evangelierne digtede han selv salmer der dog langtfra kan måle sig med Kingos. Benyttelsen af den ældre danske salmedigtning, især Hans Chr. Sthens, er også sparsom. De fleste salmer er oversættelser fra tysk af G. selv eller ? for ældre oversættelsers vedkommende ? af ham bragt nærmere de tyske originaler hvis begyndelseslinier aftrykkes. 1731 forsøgte E. Ewald at skaffe fætterens salmebog indgang i Kbh. ved at forsyne en del af oplaget med nyt titelblad der på bagsiden bar Steenbuchs imprimatur. 1734 indgav biskop Christian Worm imidlertid en klage over bogen til Christian VI: adskillige salrner var forvanskede og skriftstridige og omtalen af øvrigheden i litaniet var uklar, men Ewald forklarede at dette skyldtes at salmebogen var blevet til under krigens usikre forhold. I virkeligheden var tanken om gottorpsk autorisation bortfaldet ved den hertugelige dels inkorporering 1721. G.s salmebog blev genoptrykt 1744, 1755 og 1765, i nogle få slesvigske sogne brugtes den i over hundrede år. Den kunne kun blive et overgangsfænomen. Dansk salmedigtning fremtrådte her nærmest som blot efterklang af tysk. Året før G.s død indvarslede Brorson en ny dansk pietistisk salmedigtning som skulle overgå den tyske. Pontoppidans salmebog 1740 indeholdt hele den ældre danske salmeskat og et rigere udvalg af den pietistiske; den blev den egentlige slesvigske. Men Pontoppidan havde optaget ca. 50 af G.s oversættelser og salmer; herfra kom nogle ind i den nordslesvigske salmebog 1890, og i Landstads norske Salmebog for kirke og hjem angives G. som oversætter ved nr. 407 og 464.

(Dansk Biografisk Leksikon)
Ægedius studied theology at the University of Kiel and became pastor in Varnæs in 1701. Little is known about his work as pastor. What we do know is that he gave out the hymn book A New Psalm-Bog / Contains the sædvanligste As Old As many new Psalms / Dende Allerhøjeste God of glory / And every Christen / as gierne siunger and promise the Lord with Psalms / Sange and Spirituality Displaying / For new rural Bridge and built up in 1717. This he published in the churches in Gottorp who would sing in German . In the book he had translated several hymns from German into Danish . The book was republished in 1730, but under the name A New Song Bog, which Contains the almindeligste both old and new Songs. The book was controversial, and the bishop thinks the book before the king. Despite this, the book came out in several editions, and it was used until the 1880s.
In Norwegian Salmebok Aegidius is listed as the translator of two hymns.
