Talk:Árni Magnússon Institute

Comments
This article should contain some reference to the mother-institute in Copenhagen. --dllu 19:49, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


 * The Icelandic Árni Magnússon institute is wholly independent from and unrelated to the one in Copenahagen. -- Palthrow 01:50, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Independent, yes. Unrelated - no, certainly not. It wouldn't exist if the manuscripts hadn't been returned from Copenhagen. The very name comes from the fact that it was an offspring of the Danish institute (Hence the name "AM institute in Iceland"). Remember, Árni was a professor in Copenhagen. --dllu 10:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)


 * P.S.: The future merger that you talk about in the article is no longer future. It happened on Sep 1, and the official name is now "Stofnun Árna Magnússonar í íslenskum fræðum". --dllu 10:06, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
