Arngrímur Jónsson

Arngrimur Jonsson was a scholar who lived in Iceland of 1568 with 1648. It is represented on the ticket of 10 kronur , maintaining except circulation. In 1593 it published a defense of Iceland (in Latin) in which it criticized and refuted the theses of many authors who had written on Iceland. Its main target was a poem of Gories Peerse, a merchant who had written an amusing poem and somewhat libelous on the Icelandic geography and the ethnography. This defense was paramount for Iceland because it made it possible the Européen S to be able to discover the old literature of Iceland. She also played a formative part in the construction of European nationalism, the memory and the transmission of a national ethnography, which makes it possible an European country to be distinguished from the others on many points.
