[Bonetools] WBRG website updates

Fri Oct 7 18:27:03 CEST 2016

I'd completely forgotten about this.  Yes mm instead of cm would make sense. But thanks for chasing this - you are clearly worth every Ningi you are paid and a 'frood who knows where his towel is at'.

Thanks,

Sonia

Dear Sonia,

sorry that my answer took so long, but your question could still not be solved. If you go to the website of the Iceland archive, which includes a page for the compass (see http://www.sarpur.is/Adfang.aspx?AdfangID=339924) there is a size given as 130 x 89 x 65 cm, which is of course rather unlikely for an ivory object (it reminds me a bit of the Ningi in Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide through the Galaxy: a triangular coin with an edge length of 6800 miles…). It is most probably just a typo and the length will be millimeters instead of centimeters. I asked the colleagues at the National Museum in Reykjavik but did not get an answer so far.

Sarpur.is - Kompásumgjörð<http://www.sarpur.is/Adfang.aspx?AdfangID=339924>
www.sarpur.is
Kompásumgjörð af fílabeini(?), mjög haglega gjör. Hún er gjör í bókarlíking, með koparspennum, koparrósum á hornum og köppum á kjöl. Á spjaldinu annarsvegar eru rósir, en hinsvegar er grafin einhver dýrlíngsmynd með hríng (gloriu), kringum höfuð, hann hefir lángan staf í hendi og barðahatt hánganda á baki. Mynd þessi mun eiga að merkja Andreas postula. Þegar upp er lokið, er annarsvegar innan í sólskífa eða sólúr, en hinunegin kompás, er að eins vantar glerið og nálina á. Þar á eru áttanöfnin á latínu:                                                            SEPT(entro). MERI(dies). OCC(idens). ORIE(ns).                        Grip þenna fann Guðmundur sonur Magnúsar bónda í gömlum smiðjuhaug. Líklegast þykir mér, að hann sé eptir Spánverja á fimtándu eða sextándu öld.

I hope you are recovering well from your hospital stay.

Best

Christian
