Eeltsje Hiddes Halbertsma (Frisian form: Eeltsje Hiddes Halbertsma, pron. [ˈeːlʧǝ ˈhɪdəs ˈhɔlbǝtsma] (the r is silent); Dutch form: Eeltje Hiddes Halbertsma, pron. [ˈeːlcǝ ˈhɪdəs ˈhalbǝrtsma]) (Grou, 8 October 1797 – there, 22 March 1858)[2][1] was a Frisian writer, poet and physician,[3] and the youngest of the Halbertsma Brothers.[4] He became well known when he and his elder brother Justus published the poetry and short story collection De Lapekoer fan Gabe Skroar in 1822.[5][6] Afterwards, this work was continually expanded, and also came to include contributions by a third brother, Tsjalling,[7] until all the Halbertsma Brothers' prose and poetry was posthumously collected in 1871 to become the famous work Rimen en Teltsjes.[8][6] This book played a role of crucial importance in the development of a new literary tradition after Western Frisian had been used almost exclusively as a spoken language for three centuries.[6][9] Of the three Brothers Halbertsma, Eeltsje was probably the most talented, en his poetry especially is still very much admired.[3][10] His oeuvre included the poem De Alde Friezen, which later became the national anthem of the Western Frisian people.[11][12]
