264.0. "Icelandic books needed" by MDRLEG::RUBEN (I'm beyond god...!) Fri Feb 19 1988 11:19
    Hello there!
    
    My name is Rub�n, Spain. I wonder if there is someone out there
    that could send me the name of a bookstore where I can write to
    get the Bible in Icelandic as well as Sagas and Eddas.
    
    I need them in Icelandic to improve my knowledge of the language.
    If anyone could get them for me, I will be kindly pleased (obviously,
    I will send the money first to afford the purchase...).
    
    You can reply to this or send me a mail (INCLAN::RUBEN, MDRLEG::RUBEN,
    VALLE::RUBEN or 52532::RUBEN). If someone knows about Bible in Faroese,
    let me know. Bookstores in Europe will be find, but those located
    in the States will also do.
    
    Thanx!
    
    P.S.: By the way, any hint about printing Icelandic characters with
          an IBM PC? Can Lettrix do it?

    I've been looking at a paperback book listed as on sale for seven
    dollars in the new B&N catalogue I just received:
 
    EYRBYGGJA SAGA. Translation by H. Palsson & P. Edwards.
 
    A mid-13th-century anonymous saga.  "Of all the various records of
    Icelandic history and literature, there is none more interesting than
    Eyrbyggja Saga." -- Sir Walter Scott.  177 pp.
