The Vegvísir appears for the first time in the \u003cem\u003eHuld\u003c\/em\u003e, an Icelandic manuscript compiled by Geir Vigfússon in \u003cstrong\u003e1860\u003c\/strong\u003e — about eight centuries after the end of the Viking Age. The accompanying text, however, is magnificent: he who bears this sign will not lose his way, even in bad weather, even without knowing the path. An Icelandic symbol from the 19th century, then, whose promise is worth more than the false antiquity attributed to it.
