Sæl Alfta!
I have searched for an English translation of Ljós
Heimsins in the British Library catalogue, the Library of Congress and COPAK
(which is a research library) and none have come up with an English
translation. According to our university librarian, these are the three
biggest libraries in Britain and if there were a translation in English the
chances are one of them would have it on record. (However, I did find a
Greek translation and a Dutch one!)
The only other possibility is that a translation
was made and published in Iceland and never distributed abroad, so maybe it
would be wise to check with the Library of Iceland.
Other than that, I think it would be safe to
recommend this to your volunteer.
All the best,
Sarah.
