Árni Magnússon Manuscript Collection at the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies--

The institute houses a number of historically and culturally important manuscripts for Old Norse-Icelandic Sagas.
"The Icelandic scholar and antiquarian Árni Magnússon (Arnas Magnæus, 1663-1730) spent much of his life building up what is generally considered to be the most important collection of early Scandinavian manuscripts anywhere. It numbers close to 3,000 items, the earliest dating from the 12th century and provides invaluable sources on the history and culture of medieval, renaissance and early-modern Scandinavia and much of Europe. The collection features many examples of the uniquely Icelandic narrative genre known as the saga, landmarks of world literature still widely translated and read today." --from the Institute's website.
