Iceland Wants Priceless Norse Manuscripts Back From Denmark

[Vicious Retard]

In the early 18th-century, Icelandic scholar Árni Magnússon bequeathed his collection of manuscripts dating back to the middle ages to the University of Copenhagen. Following an agreement between Iceland and Denmark, many of the manuscripts were returned to Iceland between 1971 and 1997. But more than 1,000 items remain at Copenhagen’s Arnamagnæan Institute. Now, leading politicians in Iceland want those returned to complete the collection in an expanded institute in Reykjavík.
