og Jóns Stefánssonar. Bækur prentaðar eftir 1974 eru ekki teknar með. Ef höfundar eru fleiri en tveir, er bókin aðeins skráð á nafn hins fyrsta, að viðbættu o.fl. Engum er Jaað sennilega ljósara en mér, að í bók Jjessa hljóti að vanta fjarska margt, sem með meiri eða minni rétti ætti [jar heima. En hjá mér er dagur að kvöldi kominn og vænst að láta J^ar nótt sem nemur og að aðrir taki við. Eg vil að lokum J^akka öllum, sem greiddu götu mína við þetta verk, en nefni aðeins fá- eina: Böðvar Kvaran, hinn fróðasta mann um efni bókarinnar og miklum safnara slíkra rita, Ólaf mag. art. Pálmason bókavörð og dr. Svein P. Jakobsson jarðfræðing. Þeir leyfðu mér aðgang að söfnum sínum og veittu mér fyrirgreiðslu. Þá vil ég nefna dr. Þorleif Jóns- son bókavörð, sem las með mér prófarkir og færði margt til betri vegar. Síðast en ekki síst þakka ég dr. Finnboga Guðmundssyni lands- bókaverði hvatningarorð fyrr og síðar og að takast á hendur útgáfu bókarinnar á vegum Landsbókasafns. Reykjavík, 4. maí 1991 Haraldur Sigurðssoti. English Summary This bibliography of travel-books and other writings by foreigners relating to lceland, its nature and people, was begun in a small way more than 40 years ago. It is based mostly on the collections in the two biggest libraries in Iceland, the National Library of Iceland and the University Library, but other libraries, in- cluding the library of the Icelandic Museum of Natural History and the library of the Central Bank of Iceland, have also been con- sulted. Some friends and collectors have also given valuable information. I have, however, had to rely to some extent on secondar)’ sources, i.e. bibliographies and catalogues of different kinds. The following should be mentioned in particular: Halldór Hermannsson, Catalogue of the Icelandic Collec- tion Bequeathed by Willard Fiske I—III (Ithaca, N.Y. 1914—1943); Olaf Klose, Islandkatalog (Kiel 1931); Samuel E. Bring, Itineraria Svecana (Stockholm 1954); Eiler H. Schiötz, Itineraria 4 Noi~wegica I—II (Oslo 1969—1985); Hjalmar Pet- tersen, Bibliotheca Norvegica I-IV (Christiania 1899—1924); British Museum Geneml Catalogue of Printed Books', National Union Catalogue', Dictio- naiy Catalog of the Stefansson Collection on the Po- lar Regions in the Dartmouth College Libiaiy 1—8 (Boston 1967); Polar Record; John J. Horton, Iceland (World Bibliographical Seiies 37) (Oxford, Santa Barbara 1983); Werner Schutzbach, Is- land. (Bonn 1985); Josef Chavanne et al., Die Literatur iiber die Polar-Regionen der Erde (Wien 1878); Þorvaldur Thoroddsen, Landfrœðissaga íslands IV (Kaupmannahöfn 1904). It is obvi- ous that it causes difficulties to have to rely on entries from such widely different sourc- es, and the bibliographic information has not always proved adequate for our purposes, which often explains certain discrepancies in the entries. Information about some of the books was supplied by the national libraries concerned.
