Leiðarvísir og borgarskipan

April 10, 2024

Leiðarvísir og borgarskipan[a] ("A Guide and List of Cities") is an itinerary written c. 1157 by Níkulás Bergsson (a.k.a. Nikolaos), the abbot of the monastery of Þverá in Eyjafjörður, Northern Iceland.

It is a guidebook for pilgrims about the routes from Northern Europe to Rome and Jerusalem. It contains two descriptions of lands around Norway that the Abbot seems to have acquired for his book from independent sources.[1][2]

Notes edit

  1. ^ Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈleːiðarvisɪr ɔːɣ ˈpɔrkar̥scɪpan].
  2. ^ Bolgaraland, land of the Bulgars (i.e., Slavs), in the Leiðarvísir. Willibald, a northern European pilgrim of the 9th century, likewise called the Peloponnese Slavinia on account of its Slavic inhabitants.[7]
  3. ^ According to Níkulás, this was the Saracens called the Kingdom of Jerusalem.[7]
  4. ^ "John's castle", modern Sebastia, was correctly identified by Níkulás with ancient Samaria.[7]
  5. ^ The "plains of Abraham" were the fertile heights around Jericho. The designation is of crusader origin.[7]
  6. ^ The land beyond the Jordan, i.e. Arabia.[7]
