I will discuss the Norwegian and Icelandic shares of the Old Norse linguistic and literary heritage. Philologist have argued at length about the provenance of texts and manuscripts, but irrespective of “whose literature” it is, such discussions tell us somehing about the medieval world and textual societies.
The lecture is held within the framework of Erasmus+.
