The Cathedral of Kirkjubøur Kirstin S. Eliasen, Morten Stige (eds.) 1.º edición

In 2011 and again in 2018, meetings known as “pondering meetings” were organized in Kirkjubøur. The purpose was to create a forum to reflect on the cultural and historical significance of the archaeological monuments at Kirkjubøur and to discuss research possibilities. Specialists in art history, archaeology, architecture, geology, craftsmanship, ornamentation, and church interior design were invited. The plan was to place these topics in a comparative context with our neighbouring countries. This international collaboration was evident in the participants, who included experts from Norway, Denmark, Scotland, and England, in addition to those from the Faroe Islands. This book is a direct outcome of the pondering meetings. It is a collection of 17 articles by 12 authors.
