The beginning of the universal state in Iceland and its constitution after the exam. Dr. Konrad Maurer. Icelandicized by Sigurður Sigurðarson.
The publication is called in the original language: Die Entstehung des isländischen Staats und seiner Verfassung

Konrad Maurer was born in the Rhineland on April 29, 1823, in Frankenthal in the Palatinate, which at that time belonged to the Bavarian King. His ancestors were priests, farmers and Calvinists. His mind was inclined to natural sciences, especially mineralogy, but at his father's request he studied law. He was also interested in history and linguistics. In 1847, Maurer became a university lecturer at the age of only 24. In 1852, his book "The Beginning of the General Government in Iceland and Its Constitution" was published. In 1855, Jón Sigurðsson visited Maurer in the forge and submitted his disputes with the Danish lawyer Larsen to his opinion. Maurer wrote a letter to Jón on June 10, 1856, and thus began their lifelong personal friendship. After this, Maurer was one of Jón Sigurðsson's main advisers in the Icelandic struggle for independence.
