Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature, Vol. 6: Of the United Kingdom This learned traveller and linguist - one of Denmark´s most illustrious sons - paid great attention to the Icelandic tongue; and indeed published a good grammar of it, the result of his three or four years´ residence in that island. The objects of this excellent Society were chiefly the publication of select useful books, not only in the language of the island, but also in those foreign languages which are most requisite for education. The books published by the Society are printed in Copenhagen, and thence forwarded to Reikjavik, in Iceland. In addition to its Transactions, the Society has given to the world, in 1817-20, an able edition of the Sturlunga Saga, with learned notes. Also many volumes of ´Iceland´s Annals,´ Islands Arboekur; and Liodmoeli, or ´Minor Poems,´ which were written in Icelandic by S. Olafson, in the latter part of the seventeenth century. Professor Finn Magnussen prefixed to these poems a biographical memoir of the author. Of our English works, a few only have been translated into Icelandic. The following are the names of those which I have found: - Pope´s ´Temple of Fame,´ ´Messiah,´ and ´Essay on Man;´ Home, on the Scurvy, and Milton´s ´Paradise Lost.´ The last is thus entitled. Ens Enska Skalds Jon Milton´s Paradisar Missir, ´A Translation of the Poet J. Milton´s Paradise Lost.´ It is composed in the Eddaic verse.
