Introducing Svalbard Studies
Svalbard, or “cool edge” in Old Norse, is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. It has no indigenous population and some 60% of its landmass is covered by ice. Yet its rich wildlife and mineral resources, as well as spectacular sights, have been attracting a great\ndeal of commercial interest ever since Willem Barentsz discovered the archipelago in 1596 and named it Spitsbergen (“peaked mountains”). Initially a whale hunting base and subsequently a…
Svalbarðs fundr. The Place Name Svalbard and Its Connotations in Medieval and Modern Literature and Cartography
The paper analyses medieval forms of the name Svalbard as applied to the land “discovered” in 1194, suggests that this Arctic discovery could have been named after a farmstead in Iceland, and follows the story of the name by discussing its contexts in medieval and modern literature and on maps. However little information about Svalbard survived in the Icelandic annals, the Landnámabók, and related texts, it became part of competing visions of the…

Easter tables and the Pseudo‐Isidorean Vatican map
Analysis of the Easter tables in the Vatican Library manuscript Vat. Lat. 6018 reveals traces of a Byzantine original and shows that the tables were compiled and probably written down in Italy between 762 and 777. The map in the same manuscript, traditionally known as the Isidorean map, is closely associated with the tables and should also be assigned a date within the same time range
