Arnamagnæan Manuscript Collection

The Arnamagnæan Manuscript Collection (Den Arnamagnæanske Håndskriftsamling, Handritasafn Árna Magnússonar) derives its name from the Icelandic scholar and antiquarian Árni Magnússon (1663–1730) — Arnas Magnæus in Latinised form — who in addition to his duties as secretary of the Royal Archives and professor of Danish Antiquities at the University of Copenhagen, spent much of his life building up the collection of manuscripts that now bears his name.
