Description: The book is 2st (additional) edition of the bilingual dictionary between Icelandic and Danish languages. The dictionary has been developed by Jakob Jón Smári (1889-1972) who was an talented Icelandic poet, linguist, literary scholar and teacher. Smári wrote books on Icelandic grammar and syntax, and prepared an Icelandic-Danish dictionary. Smári was a prolific writer and debater in Icelandic newspapers and a regular literary critic in the newspaper Morgunbladid. He was also active as a translator from Danish and Norwegian to Icelandic. Smári is best known today in Iceland for his own lyric and regarded as a representative of the new romanticism. Smári's lyric influenced many contemporary Icelandic lyricists. Some of his poems have been interpreted and added to music by Icelandic artists.
With 20,000 headwords, the book is a medium-sized dictionary which contain a quite large number of synonyms, fixed expressions and collocations in Icelandic and Danish.

Thirdly, learners and teachers of Icelandic in Denmark. Likewise the dictionaries can be used for learners and teachers of Danish in Iceland.
Also the book will be interesting to collectors of dictionaries and books in Icelandic.

My name is Árni and I live in Iceland. I'm not a professional trader or seller - I'm scientist and teacher, but it so happened that I sell here the Icelandic Golden Root, Angelica archangelica, Arctic Thyme, Icelandic books, Bibles, etc. Why? Because I am interested in comparative linguistics and for many years I have been collecting and studying bible texts in many languages. I collect Bibles in different world languages and I spend a lot of money on the purchase of these. So I decided to sell the excess items in eBay to get some money for buying a new books and Bibles.
You should definitely visit my little eBay-store if you are interested in Icelandic medicinal plants growing in harsh arctic nature, surounded by the mountains, glaciers and volcanoes, which can significantly enhance your health. I can also provide different Icelandic books like Bibles, dictionaries, textbooks and etc., that can enrich your multilingual library.
