Description
Founded in 1905, The Fiske Icelandic Collection (Division of Rare and Manuscript Collections, Cornell University Library) is one of the largest collections on Icelandic literature and civilization, and is unrivaled in its resources for the study of the medieval Nordic world. For the first time in its history, the Fiske Collection invites submissions for a session sponsored at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University (Kalamazoo, May 12-15, 2016). This session will inaugurate a new forum for the discussion and dissemination of the latest thought and research in the field of Old-Norse Icelandic Studies, as well as foster scholarly conversation and contact.
