  • Of Magical Beings and Where to Find Them. Scripta Islandica 72/2021
    Of Magical Beings and Where to Find Them On the Concept of álfar in the Translated riddarasǫgur FELIX LUMMER 1. Introduction The process of translation attempts to enable the understanding of for­ eign concepts and ideas, something which naturally involves the use of both words and concepts that are already extant in the receiving culture. This natu rally involves linguistic problems, but more interestingly often results in the overlapping, alteration and merging of concepts, something that can have long­term consequences on language and cultural under­ standing. This article aims to explore how the Old Norse mythological concept of the álfar in the Nordic countries (especially Iceland due to its pre­served­manu­scripts)­may­have­been­altered­through­the­influence­of­the­ trans lation of Old French romances into Norwegian and Icelandic during the Middle Ages. As will be shown below, the mythological concept that lies behind the introduction and use of the female variant of álfar (sg. álfr) known as álfkonur (sg. álfkona) in Old Norse literature (and culture) appears to have been that of the Old French fée (pl. fées). Indeed, prior to the translation of foreign (especially Continental) works, some of which appear to have been initiated by the Norwegian King Hákon Hákonar son (1204–1263) in the early thirteenth century, the álfkona (and motifs associated with her) seem to have been mostly absent in Old Norse Lummer, Felix. 2021.

  • The Karlamagnús Compendium
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies The Karlamagnús Compendium Genre and Meaning in AM 180a-b fol. Ritgerð til M.A.-prófs Harry Williams Kt.: 151183-4419 Leiðbeinandi: Svanhildur Óskarsdóttir September 2017 Abstract This thesis is an examination of the fifteenth century manuscript AM 180a-b fol.; made up of a copy of the A version of Karlamagnús saga (180a) and seven further sagas - Konráðs saga keisarasonar, Dunstanus saga, Katrínar saga, Bærings saga, Knýtlinga saga, Vitus saga and Laurentius saga (180b), it originally formed one codex. The thesis has two main aims: to consider the generic position of Karlamagnús saga as it existed for the compilers of the manuscript and to speculate on the producers, purpose and use of the manuscript by means of a holistic consideration of its parts. The first aim is prompted by viewing the sagas of 180b as a reflection of the generic ambiguity of Karlamagnús saga. While patently belonging to the riddarasögur, Karlamagnús saga has affinities with hagiography and the konungasögur; representatives of these three generic classes are to be found in 180b. Structured by the theme of saintliness, in which a chronological line of saintly figures is presented, as well as shared geographical referents, the codex is marked by a wide-ranging intellectual curiosity. This is attributed to the concerns of the North Icelandic Benedictine School, the presence of which is marked in the manuscript, and to the wider intellectual atmosphere of fourteenth century Iceland in which saints' lives and romances were possibly written by the same people. 2 Ágrip Þessi ritgerð skoðar fimmtándu aldar handritið AM 180a-b fol.; sem samanstendur af A gerð Karlamagnúsar sögu (180a) ásamt sjö öðrum sögum- Konráðs sögu keisarasonar, Dunstanusar sögu, Katrínar sögu, Bærings sögu, Knýtlinga sögu, Vitus sögu og Laurentiusar sögu (180b), sem upphaflega mynduðu saman eitt handrit.

My material comprises of three versions of one and the same text, well spread geographically and temporarily. The first version is the Old French chanson de geste Elie de Saint-Gille as preserved in the manuscript BNF 25516 from the second part of the 13 th century; the second version is Elís saga , a rewriting of the Norwegian translation of an Old French version, as found in the Norwegian manuscript De la Gardie 4- 7 Folio from around 1270; the third version is an Icelandic rewriting and adaptation of Elís saga , as it appears in the manuscript Holm Perg 6 4to from around 1400-1425. First of all, I will give a short presentation of the layout, content and provenance of the three manuscripts. Thereafter, I will comment on the possible implications these physical characteristics may have for our understanding of the production, transmission, reception and function of the three versions in their respective codicological and cultural contexts.

  • History Or Fiction? Truth-Claims and Defensive Narrators in Icelandic Romance-Sagas
    History or fiction? Truth-claims and defensive narrators in Icelandic romance-sagas RALPH O’CONNOR University of Aberdeen Straining the bounds of credibility was an activity in which many mediaeval Icelandic saga-authors indulged. In §25 of Göngu-Hrólfs saga, the hero Hrólfr Sturlaugsson wakes up from an enchanted sleep in the back of beyond to find both his feet missing. Somehow he manages to scramble up onto his horse and find his way back to civilisation – in fact, to the very castle where his feet have been secretly preserved by his bride-to-be. Also staying in that castle is a dwarf who happens to be the best healer in the North.1 Hann mælti: ‘… skaltu nú leggjast niðr við eldinn ok baka stúfana.’ Hrólfr gerði svâ; smurði hann þá smyrslunum í sárin, ok setti við fætrna, ok batt við spelkur, ok lèt Hrólf svâ liggja þrjár nætr. Leysti þá af umbönd, ok bað Hrólf upp standa ok reyna sik. Hrólfr gerði svâ; voru honum fætrnir þá svâ hægir ok mjúkir, sem hann hefði á þeim aldri sár verit. ‘He said, … “Now you must lie down by the fire and warm the stumps”. ‘Hrólfr did so. Then he [the dwarf] applied the ointment to the wounds, placed the feet against them, bound them with splints and made Hrólfr lie like that for three nights. Then he removed the bandages and told Hrólfr to stand up and test his strength. Hrólfr did so; his feet were then as efficient and nimble as if they had never been damaged.’2 This is rather hard to believe – but our scepticism has been anticipated by the saga-author.

    Manuscript overview This overview lists all manuscripts from the Arnamagnæan Collection from the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries that are known to have been changed physically according to text boundaries. The overview does not claim to be exhaustive. Instead, it is supposed to be understood as a working tool based on the indications found in the major secondary literature. During the research of the project, I was able to check many manuscripts and update the entries. However, due to the overwhelming number of manuscripts that turned out to be relevant, numerous indications still remain to be verified or need further research. Nevertheless, this overview presents the first systematic register over physically altered paper manuscripts in the Arnamagnæan Collection and will hopefully facilitate future studies. Please note the following principles applied: • Manuscripts are referred to based on their current form and shelfmark. Generally, each manuscript occupies one row in the overview. In some cases, however, parts of the same manuscript are registered on several consecutive lines in order to improve the readability. A note following the shelfmark indicates this fact. • In the first column, shelfmarks are given in their complete form. Where considered relevant for the identification, Roman numerals in accordance to Kålund’s printed catalogue (1889‐1894) are added. In the other columns, shelfmarks are abbreviated as follows: When mentioning parts of a manuscript in the same row, only the codicological unit (CU) and – if different – the Roman numeral are given. When referring to another manuscript, on the other hand, the indicator of the collection is usually omitted for Arnamagnæan manuscripts, i.e.

  • Árni Magnússon's Rearrangement of Paper Manuscripts
    Árni Magnússon’s rearrangement of paper manuscripts Beeke Stegmann PhD Thesis Faculty of Humanities University of Copenhagen 2 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the help of numerous people. First of all, I would like to thank my supervisors Anne Mette Hansen and Matthew Driscoll for their great support which began before I officially started my PhD project and continued throughout the process. Their encouragement as well as critical feedback has provided extremely valuable help and guidance. Thanks are due to all my colleagues at the Arnamangæan Institute in Copen- hagen, including former colleagues, guests and otherwise associated people. They al- ways had an open door and time for my questions, and the warm and welcoming atmos- phere at both work-related events and more social gatherings quickly made me feel at home. The conservators Natasha Fazlic and Mette Jakobsen deserve special mention for sharing their expertise on the history of manuscripts and their bindings with me, and Suzanne Reitz for processing my orders so promptly. Furthermore, I would like to thank my colleagues from the other sections of the Department of Nordic Research for fruitful collaboration as well as the administrative and technical employees for providing exceptional research conditions. I am grateful to the staff and affiliates at our sister institute, the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies in Reykjavík. During my repeated stays in Iceland I en- joyed their great hospitality and support in both practical and academic matters. Par- ticular thanks go Haukur Þorgeirsson and Jóhanna Ólafsdóttir for supplying me with manuscript images. I am further indebted to Peter Springborg for sharing his unpublished notes and wide knowledge with me, to Florian Grammel for LaTeX-help and to Philip Lavender for being witty and wise.

  • On Gender, Status, and Violence in Old Norse Literature
    AÐALHEIÐUR GUÐMUNDSDÓTTIR “How Do You Know if it is Love or Lust?” On Gender, Status, and Violence in Old Norse Literature Abstract This article examines attitudes towards behaviour relating to women within Old Norse literature, focusing both on chivalric romances (translated and original, the riddarasögur) and the legendary sagas (fornaldarsögur), texts that were mostly written in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The written chivalric romances arrived in Iceland from Norway and southern Europe, and thus they often exhib- it different values from those found in thefornaldarsögur , which tend to reflect in- digenous Nordic and heroic storytelling traditions. The article explores differenc- es between the two traditions regarding male emotions and attitudes towards women, with an emphasis on texts in which women are abused. In particular, the article seeks to investigate the relationship between social status and gender roles in these texts, and whether a woman’s rank affects her role and status according to gender. It focuses particularly on romances (especially those featuring courtly love) and fornaldarsögur in which women are either idealised as goddesses, or mistreated and even sexually abused because of their gender. The article con- cludes by asking how far the contrasts within the texts reflect a Norse ‘emotional community,’ as compared with continental European values, and whether these textual differences reflect actual difference in the social expressions of emotion- al behaviour. Ketils saga hængs is an Icelandic legendary saga which is usually dat- ed to the fourteenth century. In one episode the protagonist, Ketill, comes to a farm and asks for hospitality for the night from the mas- ter of the house, Brúni.
