The Arnamagnæan manuscript collection
The collection in its entirety consists of approximately 3000 manuscript items, of which 1400 are in Copenhagen. The collection is named after its founder, the Icelandic philologist and historian Árni Magnússon (Latinised as Arnas Magnæus, in Danish Arne Magnusson). Shortly before his death in 1730 he bequeathed his collection of manuscripts and printed books as well as his fortune to the University of Copenhagen, where he was professor of Danish antiquities.
