Leiðarvísir og borgarskipan

Leiðarvísir og borgarskipan ("A Guide and List of Cities") is an itinerary written c. 1157 by Níkulás Bergsson (a.k.a. Nikolaos), the abbot of the monastery of Þverá in Eyjafjörður, Northern Iceland.

It is a guidebook for pilgrims about the routes from Northern Europe to Rome and Jerusalem. It contains two descriptions of lands around Norway that the Abbot seems to have acquired for his book from independent sources.
