This publication in Icelandic “Hve aumir og blindir þeir eru: Dionysius Piper á Íslandi 1740–1743” by Joanna Kodzik (MIARC), Sumarliði R. Ísleifsson and Gunnar Kristjánsson provides the first study and edition of German handwritten sources about Iceland from the 18th century which has never been published until now.
This book reflects Moravian attempts to establish a Moravian diaspora in Iceland, sheds light on a quasi-unknown part of the history of Iceland and analyses one of the earliest German eye-witness accounts about this island, rare even in the Icelandic history of this time.
It also fills in the gap in research on the Moravians in the Arctic who ran mission stations in Greenland, Labrador and Alaska and have produced significant new knowledge about people living in these parts of the world.
