Oddaverjaannáll Explained

Norse, Old: Oddaverjaannáll (from Old Norse, Oddaverjar's Annals) is a medieval Icelandic manuscript written around the 16th century.[1] Apart from the chronology of events related to the Oddaverjar family clan, from whom these annals take their name, Norse, Old: Oddaverjaannáll describes, as a curious detail, the effects of earthquakes around Iceland's Geysir in an entry from 1294.[2] It is one of the sources that provides information about Sæmundr fróði, confirming that he studied in Paris.
