Bible translations into Icelandic

Both the 1863 and 1866 editions were printed by the "Brit. Bible Soc." at Oxford, and this seems to be the translation in the illustrated New Testament of the Scripture Gift Mission in 1903 (London & Akureyri).

By at least 1906, the British Bible Society (now printing in Reykjavík) put out a new New Testament translation based on the original texts, by Haraldur Níelsson, and by 1908 released the entire Bible.
