Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic

Even after 11 centuries, modern Icelandic is closer to the speech patterns of the Middle Ages than any living European language and, in fact, has influenced the development of modern English. Thus, a knowledge of Icelandic is highly relevant to the study of English history. This volume, one of the most complete records of Icelandic, will be indispensable to scholars of medieval Icelandic and English culture and history.Zoega, Geir T. is the author of 'Concise Dictionary of Old Icelandic', published 2004 under ISBN 9780486434315 and ISBN 0486434311.
