As a departure from previous practice, this volume of Opuscula
presents ten articles on a single theme: manuscript and print in
late pre-modern Iceland, the period between the advent of print in
the early sixteenth century to the establishment of the Icelandic
State Broadcasting Service in the early twentieth. Throughout this
period, manuscript transmission continued to exist side-by-side
with print, the two media serving different, but overlapping,
audiences and transmitting different, but overlapping, types of
texts. The authors take their point of departure in recent
developments within literary and cultural studies which focus on
the artefactuality of texts and the social, historical and cultural
contexts in which they are produced and consumed. The volumes title
refers not only to the popular late medieval and early modern genre
of exemplary and/or admonitory mirror literature -- several
examples of which are discussed -- but also to the idea that both
manuscripts and printed books are reflections of virtue in a
broader sense.
