fragments of an Icelandic Christmas Sermon
Based on two Sermons of Vincent ferrer
Keywords: Homilies, sermons, Vincent ferrer, Dominicans, Christmas, exempla,
edition
this article is an edition and study of an Icelandic sermon that survives in the
manuscript fragments aM 696 VIII and IX 4to, both from the first half of the
sixteenth century and possibly copied in or around Snóksdalur. the Icelandic text
is based on two Latin sermons by the Valencian Dominican friar Vincent ferrer
(1350–1419). Judging by the Icelandic sermon’s source and vocabulary, it is likely
that it was composed in the late fifteenth century or early sixteenth century. the
sermon is significant because it is the only known Icelandic preaching text based
on the works of a Dominican author, and also because it provides valuable evidence
of the use of exempla in medieval Icelandic preaching.
