Manuscript Mirror. By Jónas Kristjánsson.
In Handritaspeglir, the history of the Icelandic nation, its constitution and culture, from the time of settlement and onwards, is discussed. In particular, the old manuscripts and the significant literature they contain are discussed. Many practical works of antiquity have been lost, but the manuscripts bear witness to the ingenuity of our ancestors and are the best source available for the visual arts of antiquity. At the same time, they preserve the stories and poems that are our most precious heritage and the most significant contribution of the Nordic people to world literature.
