This book uses a variety of extant written sources to reexamine those views. It discusses a discrepancy between the popularity of the saint as suggested by the sagas and that reflected by other sources. One of the study?s main claims suggests that the clergy from Northern Iceland had a vital impact upon the construction of the cult. A variety of means applied to achieve it demonstrate the authorial knowledge of the vernacular and international traditions, as well as of living conditions in Iceland at the time when the sources were put down in writing. 410 0$aNorthern world ;$vv. 51. 606 $aChristian saints$zIceland$vBiography 606 $aBishops$zIceland$vBiography 606 $aChristian saints$xCult$zIceland$xHistory$vSources 606 $aChristian hagiography 607 $aIceland$xChurch history$vSources 607 $aIceland$xReligious life and customs$vSources 615 0$aChristian saints 615 0$aBishops 615 0$aChristian saints$xCult$xHistory 615 0$aChristian hagiography. 676 $a282.092 676 $aB 700 $aSko?rzewska$b Joanna A$01549376 701 $aSko?rzewska$b Joanna A$01549376 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789433803321 996 $aConstructing a cult$93807363 997 $aUNINA
