The extent of manuscript production in medieval Iceland is well known; less well known is that manuscript transmission remained the norm in Iceland well into the modern era, long after the arrival of the printing press. The range of types of literary works preserved in these manuscripts is vast. Although the bulk of this literature was indigenous and in Icelandic, many works were translated, too, both from Latin and the various European vernaculars. The present essay examines a few of the French literary works that survive in Icelandic translations, both in manuscript and print, from Thomas’s Tristan to Jules Verne. L’estensione della produzione di manoscritti nell’Islanda medievale è ben nota meno noto è che la trasmissione manoscritta sia rimasta la norma in Islanda fino all’età moderna, molto tempo dopo l’arrivo della stampa. La gamma di tipi di opere letterarie conservate in questi manoscritti è vasta. Sebbene la maggior parte di questa letteratura fosse autoctona e in islandese, molte opere furono tradotte, inoltre, sia dal latino che dai vari vernacoli europei. Il presente articolo esamina alcune delle opere letterarie francesi che sopravvivono nelle traduzioni islandesi, sia in manoscritti che in libri a stampa, dal Tristan di Thomas alle opere di Jules Verne.
