Teiknibók

Teiknibók is an Icelandic manuscript of drawings used as models for manuscript illumination, painting, carving and metalwork. It is remarkable for being one of only three dozen books of its type which survive from Western Europe and the only example extant from medieval Scandinavia. The manuscript was produced over a period of over 150 years by four anonymous artists, beginning in around 1330. The illustrations in Teiknibók resemble those in Kirkjubæjarbók, and it may have served as a model for them. In the words of the manuscript's most recent editor Guðbjörg Kristjánsdóttir, "The diverse subjects of the drawings prove that Icelandic art flourished to a far greater degree than surviving works of art would indicate."
