Morkinskinna
Morkinskinna (rotten parchment), the first full-length chronicle of the kings of medieval Norway (1030-1157), forms the basis of the Icelandic chronicle tradition. Based ultimately on an original from ca. 1220, the single defective manuscript was written in Iceland ca. 1275. The present volume, the first translation of Morkinskinna in any language, makes this literary milestone available to a general readership, with introduction and commentary t…

An international team of specialists examines the ways in which the unique social experiment in Iceland, a kingless society without an establi…
