ABSTRACT This article discusses the cult of James the Greater in medieval Iceland, considering the documents referring to images, texts, temples dedicated to the apostle, pilgrimages to Compostella and the use of the feast of the saint as in dating documents. The main source is the collection of documents known as the Diplomatarium Islandicum, but other written sources are also taken into account. It is argued that while Jacobean devotion played a comparatively minor role in Iceland, possibly due to the weakness of its social, cultural and economic links with the Iberian Peninsula, the saint was a present figure for pre-reformation Icelanders and some individuals sought to obtain prestige and display their faith by pilgrimage to the “Land of Jakob.”

来自萨加斯之地的朝圣者：中世纪冰岛的雅各布崇拜

摘要本文讨论了中世纪冰岛詹姆斯大帝（James the Greater）的崇拜，考虑了有关图像，文字，供使徒专用的庙宇，朝贡波斯特拉的朝圣以及使用约会盛宴等方式使用圣餐的文献。主要来源是称为Diplomatarium Islandicum的文件，但是也考虑了其他书面来源。有人认为，尽管雅各布派的奉献精神在冰岛发挥的作用相对较小，可能是由于其与伊比利亚半岛之间的社会，文化和经济联系薄弱，而圣徒是改革前冰岛人的当下人物，有些人试图获得声名远播，并朝着“雅各布土地”朝拜表示信仰。
