  • The Development of Education and Grammatica in Medieval Iceland
    The Development of Education and Grammatica in Medieval Iceland By Ryder Patzuk-Russell A Thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of Doctor of Medieval History Department of History School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham November 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract This study explores how education and the medieval intellectual and pedagogical discipline of grammatica developed in Iceland during the medieval period, defined roughly from the official conversion to Christianity c.1000 to the Reformation c.1550. The first chapter deals with social, institutional, and financial aspects of teaching and learning in medieval Iceland, surveying key figures and places, but also arguing that more attention should be paid to the costs of learning and the effect of that on poor students. The second chapter addresses Latin education, discussing the importance of Latinity in medieval Iceland and the types of education that would involve Latin. It also addresses the idea of bilingual education and suggests ways in which extant vernacular writings can provide evidence for how Latin was taught and learned using the vernacular, using the model of Old English bilingual education.

  • Zarys Urbanistyki I Architektury Reykiavíku an Outline of The
    MACIEJ MOTAK∗ ZARYS URBANISTYKI I ARCHITEKTURY REYKIAVÍKU AN OUTLINE OF THE URBANISM AND ARCHITECTURE OF REYKJAVIK Streszczenie Z 310 tysięcy mieszkańców Islandii, 200 tysięcy przypada na zespół miejski Wielkiego Reykiavíku; 65 procent ludności Islandii zamieszkuje jeden procent obszaru kraju. Reykiavík jest zarazem skupiskiem większości dzieł architektury islandzkiej, szczególnie powstałych od XVIII wieku po czasy dzisiejsze. Umożliwia to prześledzenie na małym obszarze przemian w urbanistyce i architekturze Islandii. Osadnic- two na terenie Reykiavíku trwa nieprzerwanie od IX wieku. Powolny rozwój miasta przypadł na schyłek XVIII wieku i wiek XIX, natomiast w XX wieku nabrał przyspieszenia (trwającego do dziś) i odzwiercie- dlił kolejne tendencje światowe: koncepcję miasta ogrodu, funkcjonalizm i styl międzynarodowy, fascy- nację komunikacją samochodową, idee rozwoju zrównoważonego, opiekę nad zabytkami. W architekturze islandzkiej dominowały wzory norweskie od IX do XIV wieku oraz duńskie od XV do początku XX wieku, które podlegały lokalnym adaptacjom. Od pierwszej połowy XX wieku architektura islandzka ma charakter uniwersalny, kosmopolityczny, jednak nie barkuje w niej cech indywidualnych, akcentowanych przez lo- kalnych twórców. Niezmienna pozostała jej prostota i skromność – w dobrym tych słów znaczeniu. Słowa kluczowe: Reykiavík, Islandia, architektura, urbanistyka, historia Abstract 200,000 out of 310,000 inhabitants of Iceland live in Greater Reykjavik; 65% of Icelanders occupy 1% of the country. Reykjavik also concentrates most works of Icelandic architecture, especially those created between the 18th and 21st centuries. This makes it possible to follow transformations in the urbanism and architecture of Iceland in a small area. Settlement in Reykjavik has proceeded since the 9th century. The city developed slowly at the turn of the 18th century and throughout the 19th century.

Advancing Þorvaldur Thoroddsen’s early twentieth century work, I incorporate modern archaeological investigations and recent scholarship to advance the discussions of Iceland’s livestock economy. The thesis draws on a range of written sources, including literature, legal texts and the máldagar (church-charters), as well as archaeological disciplines and environmental sciences to consider the whole process of farming. It examines neglected aspects of animal husbandry and, in the process, challenges some assumptions about practices and suggests new avenues for research. I start with a re-examination of farm buildings and pasture, both on and off the farm to give a more holistic view of fodder acquisition.

This newly constructed firm is looking for a possible industry site to build a factory and has intended the location for its first plant to be in Western Europe. There are a few interesting sites identified as suitable for a factory of this caliber both in Iceland and other Western European countries. In Iceland’s case four sites are considered most attractive in regarding satisfying energy source. Those are Bjarnarflag in Norðurþing municipal on the north-east coast, the industrial site at Grundartangi in Hvalfjöður, a new industrial site at Helguvík in Reykjanes peninsular and in Djúpivogur municipal on the east coast. AGC is a spin-off company from the research and consulting firm Efnaferli ehf (Icelandic Process Development, IPD) with the purpose to develop implement and execute projects on the field of “green” chemical industries in Iceland and/or elsewhere. IPD was formed in 1997 to research various chemical processes that would be suitable for medium scale chemical plant productions. Gunnlaugur Friðbjarnarson: is the founder and key inventor of Icelandic Process Development Ltd. Since 2007 IPD has operated a sophisticated fully staffed pilot plant in Reykjavik for the proof of processes and the verification and characterization of utilities, energy, and specific consumption parameters.

  • Volcanism in Iceland in Historical Time: Volcano Types, Eruption Styles and Eruptive History T
    Journal of Geodynamics 43 (2007) 118–152 Volcanism in Iceland in historical time: Volcano types, eruption styles and eruptive history T. Thordarson a,∗, G. Larsen b a School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh EH9 3JW, United Kingdom b Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Iceland, IS-101 Reykjav´ık, Iceland Received 20 June 2006; received in revised form 18 August 2006; accepted 5 September 2006 Abstract The large-scale volcanic lineaments in Iceland are an axial zone, which is delineated by the Reykjanes, West and North Volcanic Zones (RVZ, WVZ, NVZ) and the East Volcanic Zone (EVZ), which is growing in length by propagation to the southwest through pre-existing crust. These zones are connected across central Iceland by the Mid-Iceland Belt (MIB). Other volcanically active areas are the two intraplate belts of Oræfaj¨ okull¨ (OVB)¨ and Snæfellsnes (SVB). The principal structure of the volcanic zones are the 30 volcanic systems, where 12 are comprised of a fissure swarm and a central volcano, 7 of a central volcano, 9 of a fissure swarm and a central domain, and 2 are typified by a central domain alone. Volcanism in Iceland is unusually diverse for an oceanic island because of special geological and climatological circumstances. It features nearly all volcano types and eruption styles known on Earth. The first order grouping of volcanoes is in accordance with recurrence of eruptions on the same vent system and is divided into central volcanoes (polygenetic) and basalt volcanoes (monogenetic). The basalt volcanoes are categorized further in accordance with vent geometry (circular or linear), type of vent accumulation, characteristic style of eruption and volcanic environment (i.e.
