The EU funded a two-year project targeting the development of a comprehensive description of Latin letters in mediaeval Old Norse-Icelandic manuscripts. The work resulted in an analytical database presenting the remains of Latin literacy in Iceland, including Latin authors and known works.
Work on the project ISLANDIA LATINA (Latin in Old Norse-Icelandic Manuscripts) focused on Latin works, composed, copied, translated or otherwise utilised by Old Norse-Icelandic scribes. Research outcomes have produced a useful research tool for the relevant academic community as few original texts in Latin are preserved in Old Norse-Icelandic manuscripts.
