I am translating a very old Lange Slektebok from Riksmaal to English. There are 2 abbreviated words that I can not find in any Norwegian or Danish Dictionary's

ex. Philos and c. Philos

I think these have something to do with school or education. If anyone would like, I can e-mail you the original sentance either in Riksmaal or English.

These are university degrees. Ex phil is short for examen philosophicum. Today it's the lowest degree at norwegian universitys. It's a pre study that most students have to complete before they move on to "real" studies/degrees. c. phil means candidate philosophicum and is a degree in philosophy.
