Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book contains three important works by the Icelandic historian Ari the Wise, a pioneer of Old Norse literature and a groundbreaking figure in the creation of Icelandic prose. First is the Book of Kings, a source for Scandinavian history up to the mid-twelfth century. The next is the Book of Settlements, which lays out the early settlement of Iceland, its people, and their genealogy, as well as providing a wealth of information on early Icelandic history and society. Lastly comes the Book of the Icelanders, which serves as a history of the island from its settlement to around the mid-twelfth century. The author, who lived from 1067 to 1148, includes plenty of historical and geographical information but also records the early religious beliefs of the settlers, as well as the complex social and legal structures that they brought with them. A seminal text for research, this book is a foundational volume in the study of medieval Iceland and an invaluable resource for historians, scholars, and students alike.
