Guðbrandur Vigfússon Boeken
Guðbrandur Vigfússon was een vooraanstaand Scandinavisch geleerde uit de 19e eeuw, bekend om zijn diepgaande studie van oude IJslandse manuscripten. Hij wijdde veertien jaar aan het nauwgezet bestuderen en catalogiseren van de uitgebreide collecties in de Arna-Magnæaanse Bibliotheek in Kopenhagen, waardoor hij een ongeëvenaarde gedetailleerde kennis van de middeleeuwse Noorse literatuur ontwikkelde. Zijn academische loopbaan bereikte een hoogtepunt in Oxford, waar hij de eerste lector in Scandinavische studies werd en zo zijn blijvende nalatenschap op dit gebied vestigde.
