Dominican Resonances in Medieval Iceland: The Legacy of Bishop Jón Halldórsson of Skálholt is an interdisciplinary volume which explores the ecclesiastical and literary history, textual culture, and liturgy of Iceland during the early and mid-fourteenth century. As noted in the introduction, the volume stems ultimately from discussions at the 2014 New Chaucer Society Conference in Reykjavík, which led to a conference at Skálholt in 2016. While not without flaws, this book represents a significant contribution to a period of history with great potential for new research. Considering the title, it offers a surprisingly broad and comprehensive exploration of issues and themes, with some chapters only peripherally relating to Bishop Jón. ... : Leeds Medieval Studies, 3 (2023), Sunday 6 August ...
