    Jón lærði and the natures of nature – Hagþenki Award 2016

    • Exhibition at the National and University Library of Iceland

    The 2016 Hagþenki Award was presented at the National Library at a ceremony on Wednesday, March 1, 2017, and was awarded to Viðar Hreinsson for the book Jón lærði og nátturur nátturunnar published by Lesstofan.

    The Accreditation Council's concluding remarks stated: "The book deals in a concise manner with the adventurous life of a man on the border between antiquity and modern science in the context of European scientific history."

    On the same day, March 1, a micro-exhibition about the book Jón lærði og nátturur nátturunnarn was set up in the museum, which also includes manuscripts from the collection by Jón Guðmundsson lærði. The exhibition will end on August 22.
