Among the texts examined are Sturlunga saga, a narrative cycle depicting the bitter feuding preceding Iceland's loss of independence in 1262/4, Hauksbók or 'Haukr's Book', a manuscript 'micro-library', containing among other things a history of the Christianisation of Iceland, narratives about legendary Vikings, the story of Troy, and computistical material, Víglundar saga, an exemplary romance in saga form, grammatical treatises in which native poetry is analysed in terms of classical rhetoric, and a tiny sixteenth-century manuscript of the vita of St Margaret, written as an amulet for the scribe's pregnant daughter. Showcasing medially-focused responses to a wide range of medieval writing and textuality, the collection demonstrates the promise of a medial approach to Iceland's extraordinarily rich and long-lived textual culture.
