Description
This collection of 66 manuscripts celebrates the life and work of Arni Magnusson, a renowned Icelandic scholar and antiquarian. Spanning his entire lifetime, from 1663 to 1730, these manuscripts showcase the breadth of his interests in literature, science, religion, law, calendars, music, and more.
Comprising works from across Scandinavia, including Iceland, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, as well as continental Europe, this remarkable collection is a testament to Arni Magnusson's dedication to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of his time. High-quality colour photographs accompany the texts, providing a visual representation of these precious historical documents.
Edited by Matthew James Driscoll, Svanhildur Óskarsdóttir, and representatives from the Arnamagnæan Collection, this volume is a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval manuscripts and their significance in European cultural history. A comprehensive introduction and chapter on book production in the Middle Ages add depth to this fascinating collection.
