Lee, Chairman Byron W. Bender Patricia J. Donegan P. Gregory Lee David Stampe Kathleen C. Falvey © Copyright by Nitalu Sroka 1990 All Rights Reserved iii Abstract Comparative analysis of the matched words in dr6ttkvcett reveals that the syllable structure necessary to describe alliteration, half rhyme (skothending) and full rhyme (aoalhending) consists of an onset (the prevocalic consonants), a nucleus (the vowels), an offset (the postvocalic consonants), and possibly an intermediate structure consisting of the nucleus with the offset (the rime). This Old Icelandic poetic meter is defined, in part, by patterns of syllable matches. To accurately describe the matches the initial element of each syllabic component must have special status. These elements demarcate the structures in the syllable and define the domains of matches. Alliteration matches the onset initial. Half rhyme compares the nucleus through the offset initial, requiring different nuclei and matching offset initial elements. Full rhyme matches the nucleus thrc~gh the offset initial. The data reveal that these syllabic matches are structural matches. Empty elements match empty elements. If the first element of the onset does not meet the demarcative requirements, it may not be in the onset initial position. That is, if the first element is not a "full" consonant (if it is a glide), the onset initial position is empty, and as such matches other empty onsets (syllables beginning with a glide or a vowel). An empty offset occurs in open syllables, and open syllables with matching vowels form aoalhendings while ones with differing vowels form skothendings. This matching of empty elements is a matching of empty structural positions. iv The parallels between the prevocalic consonantal matches (alliteration) and the postvocalic consonantal matches (the non-vowel facets of half rhyme and full rhyme) provide an explanation for the origin of skaldic rhyme (half rhyme and full rhyme) and hence, of skaidlc poetry. Alliteration predates skaldic rhyme. It is characteristic not only of the older Eddic poetry but also of other Germanic poetries such as the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf. Since skaldic rhyme shares all the structural characteristics of alliteration, it can be described as postposed alliteration. This description facilitates the recognition that skaldic rhyme is derived from alliteration. v Table of Contents Abstract.............................................................................................................. iv List of Tables vii List of Illustrations.. ix List of Abbreviations............................ x Chapter I Introduction................................................................................... 1 Chapter II The Form of Skaldic Poetry and its Consistency through Time.... 16 Chapter III Alliteration and Rhyme Requirements - a Nonsyllabic Analysis. 38 Chapter IV The Traditional Syllable and Skaldic Verse 52 Chapter V The Articulated Syllable and Skaldic Verse 81 Chapter VI Skaldic Poetry and Syllable Structure 92 Appendix A The Computer and the Data 100 Appendix B The Data 104 Appendix C The Analysis 151 Appendix D Matches with j- 184 Appendix E Sample with Equal Number of Rhymes 188 Appendix F Sample with 10% of the lines 191 Notes 266 Glossary 270 Literature Cited 274 vi List of Tables Table I Full rhyme patterns by number and percentage 26 Table II Half rhyme patterns by number and percentage 28 Table III Overall rhyming patterns 29 Table IV Lines off syllable count. 31 Table V Binding patterns as percentages 35 vii List of Illustrations Figure 1.

  • "Ok Er Þetta Upphaf´"--First-Stanza Quotation in Old Norse Prosimetrum
    Judy Quinn “Ok er þetta upphaf”— First-Stanza Quotation in Old Norse Prosimetrum* hen prosimetrum involves the quotation of poetry — as medieval Scandinavian prosimetrum almost invariably does1 — the narrator’s voice is at once in competition with another voice, which through its Wpoetic form is graced with significance and authority. Verse quotations in sagas are conventionally very short, most typically of only one stanza, but occa- sionally of two, three, or more stanzas. As the evidence of other records demon- strates, however, a verse presented by a saga-narrator as a lausavísa, or single- stanza composition, may well be an excerpt from a longer poem.2 Sometimes acknowledgement is made of the loosening of the stanza from the whole poem through the narrator’s mention of the poem’s name, particularly in kings’ sagas where praise and memorial poems are frequently cited to verify aspects of an account,3 but even in this genre — avowedly indebted to the existence of whole * I am grateful to the Modern Language Association of America and the organizers of the Discussion Group on Old Norse Literature at the 1995 convention for inviting me to present an earlier version of this article there. 1. One important exception to this is Snorri Sturluson’s pedagogic prosimetrum composition, Hátta- tal, in which Snorri follows the learned Latin practice of crafting prosimetrum from his own verse and prose. Otherwise Old Norse prosimetrum seems to have conventionally been composed of prose and quoted poetry — either as evidence of events narrated or as the declamations of the participants in the narrative (see Einarsson 1974 and Friis-Jensen 1987 for a survey of these types).

I would also like to thank Luke John Murphy for his secondary supervision and vital advice. Thanks to Terry Gunnell for his recommendations on literature and thanks to Jens Peter Schjødt, who helped me at the early stages of my research. I would also like to thank all of the staff within the Viking and Medieval Norse Studies Master’s Program, thank you for two unforgettable years of exploration into this field. Thank you to my family and friends around the world. Your love and support has been a source of strength for me at the most difficult times. I am grateful to everyone, who has helped me throughout these past two years and throughout my education leading up to them. 2 Abstract: Stanzas 138 through 141 of the eddic poem Hávamál illustrate a scene of Óðinn’s self- sacrifice or sjálfsfórn, by hanging himself from a tree to obtain the runes. These four stanzas, which mark the beginning of the section Rúnatals þáttr, constitute some of the most controversial and important eddic poetry. Concerning the passage, Jens Peter Schjødt says it is one of the most interesting scenes in the entire Old Norse Corpus from the perspective of Religious History.

  • The Manuscripts of Jómsvíkinga Saga a Survey
    The Manuscripts of Jómsvíkinga Saga A Survey ÞÓRDÍS EDDA JÓHANNESDÓTTIR & VETURLIÐI ÓSKARSSON 1 Introduction Jómsvíkinga saga (JS) exists in five different redactions, four in Ice­ landic and one in a Latin translation.1 Furthermore, accounts of events and persons in JS are found in the kings’ saga collections Fagr skinna and Heimskringla, as well as in the so­called Greatest saga of Óláfr Tryggva­ son. JS itself may be divided thematically into three parts. The first part consists of tales of the Danish kings until King Haraldr Blue tooth Gorms­ son († c. 985/986) (this part is lacking in one of the redactions, see § 2.5). The second part focuses mainly on the Danish chieftains Vagn Ákason and Pálnatóki, who, according to the saga, founded Jómsborg.2 The third part is dedicated to the Jómsvíkings’ battle at Hjǫrungavágr, where they were defeated. Overviews of the saga can be found, for example, in Jakob Bene dikts son 1962 and Ólafur Halldórsson 1993: 343–44 (with a very good bibliography). The following survey aims to present an overview of the preservation of the saga and all its manuscripts, including paper manuscripts. The text tradition of the saga is complicated, “among the most complex in the 1 We may not be fully consistent in our use of the terms redaction and version in this article. A short but informative discussion of these two terms can be found in Kalinke 1985: 346–47. 2 We base our division of JS into a first and second part on the distinction made between the two parts in AM 291 4to at the beginning of chapter 8, where it reads that “Nú hefst upp annar þáttur sögunnar” ‘now starts the second part of the story’ (Ólafur Halldórsson 1969: 100).

  • International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol
    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 7, No. 3, September 2020 doi:10.30845/ijll.v7n3p2 Skaldic Panegyric and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle Poem on the Redemption of the Five Boroughs Leading Researcher Inna Matyushina Russian State University for the Humanities Miusskaya Ploshchad korpus 6, Moscow Russia, 125047 Honorary Professor, University of Exeter Queen's Building, The Queen's Drive Streatham Campus, Exeter, EX4 4QJ Summary: The paper attempts to reveal the affinities between skaldic panegyric poetry and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle poem on the ‘Redemption of the Five Boroughs’ included into four manuscripts (Parker, Worcester and both Abingdon) for the year 942. The thirteen lines of the Chronicle poem are laden with toponyms and ethnonyms, prompting scholars to suggest that its main function is mnemonic. However comparison with skaldic drápur points to the communicative aim of the lists of toponyms and ethnonyms, whose function is to mark the restoration of the space defining the historical significance of Edmund’s victory. The Chronicle poem unites the motifs of glory, spatial conquest and protection of land which are also present in Sighvat’s Knútsdrápa (SkP I 660. 9. 1-8), bearing thematic, situational, structural and functional affinity with the former. Like that of Knútsdrápa, the function of the Chronicle poem is to glorify the ruler by formally reconstructing space. The poem, which, unlike most Anglo-Saxon poetry, is centred not on a past but on a contemporary event, is encomium regis, traditional for skaldic poetry. ‘The Redemption of the Five Boroughs’ can be called an Anglo-Saxon equivalent of erfidrápa, directed to posterity and ensuring eternal fame for the ruler who reconstructed the spatial identity of his kingdom.

  • An Encapsulation of Óðinn: Religious Belief and Ritual Practice Among The
    An Encapsulation of Óðinn: Religious belief and ritual practice among the Viking Age elite with particular focus upon the practice of ritual hanging 500 -1050 AD A thesis presented in 2015 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Scandinavian Studies at the University of Aberdeen by Douglas Robert Dutton M.A in History, University of Aberdeen MLitt in Scandinavian Studies, University of Aberdeen Centre for Scandinavian Studies The University of Aberdeen Summary The cult surrounding the complex and core Old Norse deity Óðinn encompasses a barely known group who are further disappearing into the folds of time. This thesis seeks to shed light upon and attempt to understand a motif that appears to be well recognised as central to the worship of this deity but one rarely examined in any depth: the motivations for, the act of and the resulting image surrounding the act of human sacrifice or more specifically, hanging and the hanged body. The cult of Óðinn and its more violent aspects has, with sufficient cause, been a topic carefully set aside for many years after the Second World War. Yet with the ever present march of time, we appear to have reached a point where it has become possible to discuss such topics in the light of modernity. To do so, I adhere largely to a literary studies model, focussing primarily upon eddic and skaldic poetry and the consistent underlying motifs expressed in conjunction with descriptions of this seemingly ritualistic act. To these, I add the study of legal and historical texts, linguistics and contemporary chronicles.

  • On Freyr—The 'Lord' Or 'The Fertile One'? Some Comments on the Discussion of Etymology from the Historian of Religions
    On Freyr—the ‘Lord’ or ‘the fertile one’? Some comments on the discussion of etymology from the historian of religions’ point of view1 Olof SUNDQVIST Introduction Ever since the beginning of modern research in the 19th century, histo- rians of religions have used gods’ names, and the etymologies that can be associated with them, as a method to determine and distinguish the various mythical beings, their nature and functions. Also the Old Norse deities have been interpreted by means of their names. In the present paper focus will be put on the ancient Scandinavian deity Freyr. His name has been a matter of debate in recent research, especially among philologists and specialists on names (onomasticians). Their arguments have, however, not always been based on linguistic arguments exclu- sively, but also on knowledge brought from the history of religions. Since some of the theories on Freyr in the history of religions are dis- puted, it is important that such aspects are brought to light also for the researchers in onomastics. A paradox may be discerned in research today. A new etymology of the god’s name has been suggested. This etymology has support from previous interpretations of the god Freyr made by historians of religions working in the mid 20th century. While a new and more nuanced image of Freyr, produced by historians of religions around 1995-2015, can find support from the old etymology. Freyr and the etymology of his name There has almost been consensus that Freyr’s name should be con- ceived as a Proto-Nordic *Fraujaz (derived from the Indo-European 1 During the preparation of this article some individuals have given me important advices, answered questions and discussed some problems related to linguistic aspects.

PREFACE The nine studies selected for publication in this volume were written over a number of years, although nothing that has ap­ peared since 1962 is included. Various minor amendments have been made, some references updated, and bibliographical and other conventions normalized throughout, doubtless not with perfect consistency. Postscripts have been added to five of the papers, showing that in some cases I have revised my opinions slightly. Two of the articles were first published in Icelandic. 'The Cult of 09inn' has been translated by me, 'Drottkvatt and Irish syllabic measures' by Professor Gearoid Mac Eoin, to whom I am most grateful, as I am also to Professor David Greene for re­ moving errors and suggesting improvements after the paper had been put into English. My thanks are also due to Mr P. Cahill who checked references in papers V, VI, and VII, and to Mr M. P. Barnes who read a proof of the whole book. Mr David Thomas, Honorary Member of the Society, has given unstinting help in designing the book and seeing it through the press.
