Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Icelandic genre known as the Family Sagas, Sagas of Icelanders, or Sagas about early Icelanders consists of anonymous works, and the genre, as well as the individual sagas, are therefore difficult to date. This literature is also difficult to date since sagas are stories that were transformed both during oral and scribal transmission. The authors of the present book address methodological problems and discuss the dating of individual sagas and the genre itself. Focusing their attention on an important period in the history of Icelandic literature, the authors are particularly concerned with the several new written genres which developed in Iceland in the thirteenth century, of which the Sagas about early Icelanders is regarded as the most important. The articles gathered in this volume show that the dating of the beginning of this written genre and of individual sagas belonging to it is crucial to the understanding of the development of literary history in thirteenth-century Iceland.…

Hardcover. Zustand: New. 353 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. In four other translations, Elíss saga, Ívens saga, Mottuls saga and Strengleikar, it is said that the work was done at the king s request. It has been a matter of discussion whether references to the king can be trusted or should be taken as literary clichés. References to authorities are in many cases false. However, if such references stem from translations in the king s own time and in his milieu, they are most likely reliable, since it would be an insult to honour the king for something he had not done. It cannot be proven that references to King Hákon are original and stem from the king s own time in these five works, but the only surviving manuscript of Strengleikar, Uppsala, De la Gardie 4 7 fol, was probably written only a few years after the king s death, and the mentioning of the translator as Brother Robert in Tristrams saga ok Ísondar and as Abbot Robert in Elíss saga who in all likelihood is the same man as Brother Robert after his promotion to Abbot do also indicate that the prologue with the reference to King Hákon is original. This little detail with the titles indicates at least that the prologues were written in the time of Robert, the translator. The direct references to the king in the prologues of these translations, as well as what we know about the milieu in the Norwegian court in King Hákon s time from other sources, indicate that the king himself and the circles around him were the driving forces behind the introduction of chivalric literature to the North. We do not know for certain that Tristrams saga ok Ísondar was the first saga to be translated, but if the king himself took a very active interest in the work, as the references to him indicate, it is not likely that the translations started much earlier. In 1226, when Tristrams saga was translated, the king was still a young man of around 21 or 22 years old, and it is not likely that he would have taken the initiative to have foreign literature translated much earlier. To what degree chivalric literature was known among the cultural elite before the translation took place is hard to say, but such literature was certainly not completely unknown, since the contact between the literary milieus in the North and those on the continent and in England was close. The European chivalric literature may have been known both in Norway and in Iceland before the time of the first translations, and we cannot exclude the possibility that some early translations were done in Iceland. However, early in the thirteenth century the Norwegian court seems to have been the milieu that promoted the introduction of this popular European genre more than others and was the milieu from which it spread to other literary centres in the North. Iceland, which in spite of its remote situation and small population had the most productive literary milieus in the Scandinavian-speaking world, gradually took over as the leading milieu for cultivating this translated literature and transmitting it to posterity, and several of the chivalric texts that were first translated in Norway exist only in Icelandic manuscripts. In Iceland, strangely enough, chivalric sagas became a productive genre far outside the chivalric culture. Partly using translated chivalric sagas as models, the Icelanders started to compose a sort of chivalric saga genre of their own, a strange mix of the translated sagas and the domestic genre the fornaldarsogur. The popularity of chivalric literature in the North shows that people living in the northern countries were very interested in the outside world and open to literary impulses from abroad. This did not come as something new with the translations of chivalric texts, mostly from Old French, early in the thirteenth century. The stories told in most of the heroic Eddic poems take place on the continent. The legends of saints from the first centuries of Christianity and later from the continent and the British Isles.…

Hardback, viii + 356 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:16 b/w, 2 tables b/w., Languages: English, Old Norse, Latin. ISBN 9782503578101. Summary The culmination of over a decade's research on verbal culture in the pre- and post-Conversion medieval North at Bergen's Centre for Medieval Studies, this volume traces the movement of words and texts temporally, geographically, and intellectually across different media and genres. The contributions gathered here begin with a reassessment of how the unique verbal cultures of Scandinavia and Iceland can be understood in a broader European context, and then move on to explore foundational Nordic Latin histories and vernacular sagas. Key case studies are put forward to highlight the importance of institutional and individual writing communities, epistolary and list-making cultures, and the production of manuscripts as well as runic inscriptions. Finally, the oral-written continuum is examined, with a focus on important works such as slendingab k and Landn mab k, Old-Norse Icelandic translated romances, and the development of prosimetra. Together, these essays form a state-of-the-art volume that offers new and vital insights into the role of literacy in the Norse-speaking world.
