Denmark and Iceland clash over priceless medieval manuscripts
They recount tales of Viking raids, Norse history, kings and gods: a priceless collection of medieval manuscripts,
bequeathed by an Icelandic scholar to the University of Copenhagen in the 18th century, that Iceland now wants back.
The United Nations cultural organisation UNESCO
has called them “the single most important collection of early Scandinavian manuscripts in existence”, with the earliest one dating from the 12th century.
