Dear Colleagues,

You are all warmly invited to the Dorothea Coke Memorial Lecture to be held at 6 pm on April 30th.  We at UCL's Department of Scandinavian Studies are delighted to welcome Professor Guðvarður Már Gunnlaugsson of the Árni Magnússon Institute. Guðvarður has published widely on topics relating to medieval Icelandic manuscript culture, including transmission studies, palaeography, orthography, and historical linguistics.

Guðvarður will deliver a lecture entitled: ‘But this book was written by Sir Haukur Erlendsson’: About Haukur Erlendsson and his role in the writing of Hauksbók.

The lecture will be held in the Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre, UCL Bloomsbury Campus. Doors open at 6pm, with the lecture itself to follow shortly after; a wine reception will also follow in the Institute of Advanced Studies building, nearby.

Attendance is free but ticketing is required due to the lecture theatre's limited capacity, so please register your interest in attending by signing up for a ticket at the link below:

Please feel free to circulate this invitation to any interested parties. This is particularly the case for those of you currently teaching Old Norse as it would be fantastic if interested students could be made aware of the event, please! I look forward to hopefully seeing many of you there.

Best wishes,

Tom Morcom
