Notice biographique

Grágás consituted the legal code of medieval Iceland. It was memorized and proclaimed at annual meetings of the national assembly. From the early 12th century scribes made written records of these older laws. Among these manuscripts of medieval Icelandic laws are two known collectively as Grágás (Grey Goose), a title of uncertain origin.

The text agrees with the printed edition, Vihjalmur Finsen, Grágás islaendernes Lovbog i Fristatens Tid (Kjobenhavn, 1852), which suggests that this is a copy of the Konúngsbók (part of the Grágás). Many such copies were made in the 18th century.
