Reseña del libro "Medieval Oddi in Iceland as a Place of Power and Learning: Clerics, Chieftains, and Textual Culture (en Inglés)"
Medieval Oddi in Iceland is well known for its famous inhabitants: the priest and chief S mundr (d. 1133), later an outstanding magician in Icelandic folk-tales; his grandson the magnificent chieftain Jón Loptsson (d. 1197), of royal descent through his Norwegian mother; and his fosterson, Snorri Sturluson (d. 1241), author of the much acclaimed Prose Edda and Heimskringla. Bishop orlákr (d. 1193) also studied at Oddi and, like S mundr, later studied abroad. These are illustrious men in the history of Iceland. 12th- and 13th-century Oddi and the Oddi family are an important subject for those who want to study the origins of the outstanding textual culture of medieval Iceland.
