An innovator in legendary sagas, the book examines his life, context and legacy from the perspectives of literary history, clerical culture, administrative literacy, liturgy, and manuscript studies, in order to provide a general view of the conditions under which literate culture thrived in 14th-century Scandinavia. It contains chapters treating Halldórsson's learning and writing, as well as studies of more general aspects of literacy. The combination of various perspectives offers a snapshot with wider implications for our understanding of medieval literacy.
