I don't think I've seen it before, but it has some good links. The
Mímir mini-grammar is handy if you bear in mind that it's devoted to
Modern Icelandic; the grammar has changed very little, but there are a
few differences. A lot of the links are broken though. I couldn't
get to the readings or the wordlists, so I can't comment on those.

You can rely on these lessons. They're a very good basic
introduction. They're especially useful for learners who aren't
familiar with linguistic jargon, and explain terminology you're likely
to meet in other textbooks.

Another good set of lessons. You can also use it as a referrence grammar.

Well, this one [ http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/5424 ] might be
familiar to you, as it's a digitised version of Sweet's Old Icelandic
Primer. But being able to read it all as a HTML or PDF file is much
easier than having to load in each scanned page individually! You can
even click on the highlighted words to go straight to the notes. And
you can always check the scanned pages if you suspect there's a
mistake in the digitised version.

No problem.
