MYTHICAL -HEROIC SAGAS
(FORNALDARSOGUR)
BY
HALLDOR HERMANNSSON

PREFACE
This volume, forming a continuation of the two earlier saga bibliographies published in ' ' Islandica ' ' , contains a bibliography of the sagas which, since their publication by Rafn, have generally been known as the Fornaldarsogur. This name, from our point of view, is perhaps not altogether appropriate or distinguish- ing, but nevertheless expresses the notion of their writers of presenting sagas dealing with what to them was a distant age or "fornold", that is, the times before the foundation of the kingdom of Norway and the colonization of Iceland, which in the earlier and more critical saga literature had not been ex- tensively treated. These sagas, the subjects of which in many cases must have been household tales in early Iceland, were written in the latter half of the 13th and the earlier half of the 14th century. Thus they represent the period of decadence in saga writing, the age when foreign influences became marked, when copying and recasting of the earlier sagas was much in vogue, when tales and stories, omitted by the earlier writers, were found worthy of record, often freely elaborated or extended, and when new stories also were invented. Many unhistorical sagas and tales which have been included in the preceding bibliographies date likewise from this period, and have therefore much in common with those treated here. Unhistorical all these Fornaldarsogur are, even those which treat of historical persons (Hrolfs saga kraka, Ragnars saga, etc.). The subject of others is derived from non-Scandinavian peoples, but has, so to say, been nationalized (Asmundar saga kappabana, Hervarar saga, Vols- unga saga, etc.); others are purely fictitious (lygisogur; stjup- mae9ra sogur), similar in structure, but varying greatly as to quality. The PiQreks saga occupies a place by itself, containing as it does foreign traditions and tales in their original form, and probably to a large extent in a close translation, but its connec- tion with the Volsung and Volund legends made it desirable to include it here. The whole Volsung or Niblung literature is, of course, not covered in these pages, but only those titles have been included which treat directly of, or are of importance to.
the Norwegian-Icelandic version as found in the Volsunga saga and the Low German version as represented in the PiQreks saga. Articles on the heroic poems of the Edda, excepting those deal- ing with textual criticism, as a rule have been included. For other works on the Niblungs, many of which devote more or less space to these two versions, it is well to consult Abeling's bibli- ography of the Nibelungenlied.
In order to make the bibliography of the subject of the Fornaldarsogur more complete, a list of editions and translations of Saxo Grammaticus' Danish history has been given in an appendix, as well as commentaries on the first nine books of it> and works on the history in general and its author ; the seven later books are of no interest to us here. The appendix comprises also the Chronicle of Hven, and three spurious Icelandic sagas.
As to the method followed in compiling this bibliography, not much needs be said here, as it has been worked out in about the same way as the two preceding ones. It may seem unneces- sary to have enumerated abstracts of these sagas, and I have done so only within certain limits ; the list might easily have been made considerably longer. But these abstracts, especially the earlier ones, may sometimes be of interest for the history of con- temporary literature, since these sagas have supplied many a writer with subjects for works of fiction, drama, and the like. I should have liked to include a list of such works, but space did not permit ; to indicate the importance of some of these sagas in this respect, one needs only to mention the names of Esaias Tegner, Adam Oehlenschlager, Richard Wagner, William Morris, and last but not least, the author of '* Hamlet." I hope, however, that at some later date I shall be able to publish such a list, not only covering the sagas included in the present volume, but the other sagas as well, thus completing and extending the list given at the end of vol. i. of " Islandica."
The titles not to be found in the Fiske Collection or in the University Library are not specially marked in this bibliography.

Most of the sagas in this ed. are reprinted from Rafn's ed. and they are
printed in the same order as there. Only one recension is given of the
Fri9j)j6fs saga, Hervarar saga, and Orvar-Odds saga. Bugge's text of
the sagas, printed in "Norrone Skrifter", is followed here. In a few
cases paper-MSS. have been used for comparison, but that and other

Contents: dedicatory letter to King Charles XI. and others, pp. (3)-
(8); text, the longer recension with Swedish translation and Latin
notes, pp. 1-194 ; Ordstafa-rad, eller ABC-rad pa the merkeligaste
ord^n, pp. (i)-(6). The map of Malaren mentioned by Warmholtz
(no. 2555) and Mobius is not in the Fiske Library copy. — This ed.
gave rise to a controversy between Verelius and Joh. Schefferus, whose
work " Upsalia " (1666) Verelius had criticized in the notes. Schefferus
replied in the notes to his ed. of ' ' Chronicon de Archiepiscopis, etc.
Ecclesiae Uppsalensis ", 1673, which called forth: "Olai Verelii Auc-
tarium notarum in Hervarar saga Olao Rudbeckio inscriptum. Anno
1674." fol. pp. 35. Schefferus's rejoinder came in 1677 (De situ et
vocabulo Upsaliae), the same year in which according to Warmholtz (n©.
348) the " Auctarium " was printed. Verelius's reply to Schefferus was
ready in 1677, but was not printed until 1681 (Notae in epistolam
defensoriam Schefferi de situ et vocabulo Upsaliae), two years after
Schefferus's death. About the controversy, see Warmholtz, nos. 348-

Hr6mundar saga Gripssonar.
Paper- MSS. The original saga (mentioned in the Sturlunga) is lost, and its contents known only from the rimur, called Griplur, probably by Sigur9r blindi (c. 1470-c. 1540). The present saga is based on the rimur. The subject is also treated in Scandinavian ballads.

MSS.: Cod. Holm. perg. 4 fol. (isthcent., second half); AM. 177, 178 fol. (both from the 17th cent., copies of vellum-codices). This saga, a compilation and translation of Low German traditions, legends and lays, was written in Norway in the 12th and the 13th cent., getting its present form about the middle of the 13th cent. The writer was accord- ing to some critics (P. E. Miiller, Raszmann, Finnur j6nsson) an Icelander, while others think he was a Norwegian. The saga contains many more or less independent tales such as those about Velent and Vidga (Velents saga; q.v.), Herburt (Herburts pdttr), the Niblungs (Niflungasaga), Walter, Iron and Apollonius, etc. Wilkina saga, eller Historien om Konung Thiderich af Bern och hans Kampar ; samt Niflunga Sagan ; innehallandes nagra Gothiska Konungars och Hieltars forna Bedrifter i Ryssland, Polen, Ungern, Italien, Burgundien och Spanien, &c.

The text was pre- pared by Gu9m. Olafsson, and is based on Cod. Holm. 4 fol. and chart. 100 fol. and in places retranslated from the Didrikskronike. The Swedish version of the Vilkina saga is by Joh. Burseus, Joh. Axelhielm and Joh. Hadorph jr., revised by Peringskiold; the Latin version of the whole work and the Swedish version of the Niflungasaga are by the editor. (Warmholtz, no. 1352).

This chronicle of the death of the Niblungs was written in Latin in the 16th cent, on the island of Hven in the Sound between Zeeland and Sweden, and was based on popular tradition, which however was of German origin. Its author was, it is supposed, Jakob Jonsen, a clergyman. The Latin original is lost and only a Danish version of it exists.

Ambdles saga.
The story of Aml65i ( Hamlet) was known in ancient Iceland, as is shown by a verse ascribed to Snsebjorn galti H61msteinsson (loth cent), but that saga was never committed to writing. It is, however, likely that it lived among the people and was changed and modified as time went on, and that its final form is the story of Brjdm, printed in J6n Arna- son's fslenzkar pj69s6gur og aefintyri. II. pp. 505-508. In the 17th century the Ambdles saga was written, dealing with the same story, but its subject is probably to be traced ultimately to Saxo's Danish history, although Zenker considers it to be independent of that work.

Andra saga jarls.
There is no evidence of an old written saga of Andri jarl, but the story was made the subject of rimur in the 15th cent, (by Sigur9r blindi?) and these were long ill-famed for profanity (Ondrur or Andra rimur hinar fornu). In the 19th cent, the subject was again treated by two rimur-poets (Hannes Bjarnason and Gisli KonrdQsson : Rimur af Andra jalli. 1834 and 1905), and they based their work on a written saga, a prose rendering of the old rimur ; it was possibly written in the i8th century.

Huldar saga is mentioned in the Sturlunga saga (Vigf^sson's ed. II. p. 270), but it has not been preserved in writing. There exists, however, a Huldar saga in three recensions, all of which date from the i8th century, but it probably has no connection with the old saga. One of these recensions has been printed in Icelandic (recension II ; ascribed to J6n Esp61in), and another in Danish version (recension I; a late i8th cent. MS. of this recension is in the Fiske Icelandic collection).

PREFACE
Perhaps few nations could more properly be called a literary people than the Icelanders, not only because in proportion to their numbers they have made a larger contribution to literature than any other people, but also because of the interest the Ice- landic nation as a whole has taken in literature from the earliest times dowm to the present day. Many foreigners on visiting Iceland have been astonished to find so much culture and literary interest in all classes of the population, and have wondered how such an interest could have been kept alive through centuries of political humiliation and of great sufferings from natural causes as well as from maladministration. The explanation of this doubtless lies in the fact that, once having obtained a firm hold upon the mind of the people, the ancient Icelandic literature, in spite of many vicissitudes, never entirely lost its grasp. The language itself bears witness to the persistence of this early influence. Large as the island is, and difl&cult as is communica- tion between its various parts, it may be said almost without qualification that no dialects have developed there, and this must be due to the unifying influence of the early literature, and to a continuous literary activity on the part of the people.
The history of Icelandic literature begins with the settlement of the country by the Norwegians. Among the settlers there were many poets, and these were held in high esteem by their countrymen, who were as fond of good poetry as they were of good saga-telling. And soon it came about that among the Scandinavian nations the Icelanders had a monopoly, as it were, of the art of poetry, and became the main authorities on Scandi- navian history and traditions. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries most of these oral traditions were recorded in writing ; it is needless here to dwell upon the importance of the record for Iceland as well as the whole Teutonic race. Following the loss of political independence in the latter half of the thirteenth century, the literary production of Iceland declined — yet it never entirely ceased ; even in the dark and dreary fifteenth century there were a few poets of some note. From the beginning of
Vlll
that century we find such poems as the satirical ' ' SkiQarima ' ' , although poems on religious subjects were much more common. Of the religious poets, one of the best was the sturdy patriot Jon Arason, the last Roman Catholic bishop of Iceland, who, about the year 1530 brought the first printing-press to Iceland.
It is customary to date the beginnings of modern Icelandic literature from the middle of the sixteenth century ; that is, from the introduction of the Reformation. The changes from the poetry of the preceding period, however, were at first not very marked ; but with the translation into Icelandic of the New Testament (1540), of the whole Bible (1584), and of other re- ligious works, the foundations were laid for a new prose literature. Before the close of the century an interest was also re-awakened in historical and antiquarian studies such as Icelandic scholars ever since have so diligently pursued, which have always met with appreciation and understanding from the people at large. Many of the earlier works of the sort, however, were written in Latin, and were printed outside of Iceland. Nor would it be fair to judge the literature of the two following centuries solely by the printed books of the time. The only printing-press in the country was under the direction of the bishops of Holar, and was almost exclusively given over to the publication of religious works in prose and verse. Other productions remained in manuscript, and circulated thus among the people ; some of these have since been printed, but many still continue unpublished. During all that time there was a marked preponderance of poetry over prose. Of hymn-writers there were many, and the "rimur "-poets were equally numerous. Many (one might, perhaps, say most) of them are now forgotten ; but two poets of the seventeenth century hold a permanent place in the literature of their country : Hallgrimur Petursson, the author of the Passion- Hymns, and Stefan Olafsson, lyrical poet and satirist. The foreign influence, which was considerable, did much injury to the written language, and especially to the prose literature. About the middle of the eighteenth century the evil had gone so far that there were persons who actually, and in all seriousness, advocated the introduction of Danish as the the official written language for Iceland. The brilliant and versatile Eggert Olafsson, poet and naturalist, sounded a warning, and instituted
IX
a movement to purify the language and to arouse the national spirit. Circumstances in part, and in part the method he adopted in his attempted reform, brought it about that he did not himself meet with much success ; yet his warning was not uttered in vain.
The latter part of the eighteenth century in Iceland, as elsewhere, became imbued with the spirit of enlightenment, and took, as it was called, a more practical view of things, but lacked an understanding for national traditions and their importance ; nevertheless the leaders of that movement did much for the education of the people. Particularly active was Magnus Stephensen, who for a long time was the most conspicuous figure among them. A more organized literary activity also became noticeable. In 1768 a literary society, the first one among Icelanders, was founded, called ' Hi9 osynilega felag.' This, however, accomplished very little. In 1780 " Hi9 islenzka Lserdomslistafelag " was founded by Icelanders in Copenhagen, and for fifteen years thereafter published an annual. Its im- mediate successor was *' Hi9 islenzka LandsuppfraeQingarfelag ", which was organized in Iceland in 1796, and which, under various names, issued many useful books during a period of about thirty years. In 1816 " Hi9 islenzka Bokmentafelag " was founded, and, having continued up to the present, it can now look back upon nearly a hundred years of eminent usefulness. But in spite of the great good which all these societies accomplished, they could not bring about any essential change in the literature, or infuse into it new life and spirit. They merely prepared the way for change and new life. It must not be forgotten that the Royal Society of Northern Antiquities rendered a great service in making accessible to the reading public the old prose texts — which were welcomed by all Icelanders. The popularity in Ice- land of the publications of that Society is clearly shown in the list of subscribers to the ''Fornmanna sogur", and by the friendly reception accorded to the two volumes of Icelandic sagas proper (fslendinga sogur).
A renewed and more active interest in the saga literature was thus aroused at a time when there was great political unrest all over Europe, and when various nations were clamoring for liberty and a recognition of their nationality. The Icelandic
students in Copenhagen seized the opportunity, and became the leaders in a movement for reform in their native country. Their organ, the annual '* Fjolnir" (1835-46), is now among the most highly regarded works in the modern literature of Iceland, although it met with considerable opposition at the time. Only the linguistic and literary side of this movement concerns us here. Then, of course, the chief stress, was laid upon the question of nationality. The Icelanders were a nation in them- selves, and were right in demanding to be treated as such. Their claim to recognition was mainly based upon their possession of a separate language and literature of their own, and hence it would be of paramount importance to keep the language pure. This language, the reformers felt, had been corrupted through the admixture of foreign elements, and, so far, little had been done to prevent the injurious process from continuing. Were nothing done, they feared that the language would ultimately lose its native characteristics. A careful study of the ancient national literature, they believed, would afford a standard to follow in re- forming and preserving the language. It was, however, no indis- criminate re-establishment of Old Icelandic as a literary medium that these men advocated, no rehabilitation of the archaic, such as Eggert Olafsson had attempted in the preceding century. On the contrary, there was a full recognition of the changes to which the language had been subject ; and where these changes were seen to be a natural development they were to be respected. It was the foreign importations or imitations that were to be banished. The literature of the day also came in for severe criticism. The " rimur "-poets still flourished, and enjoyed great popularity ; in the pages of the "Fjolnir" their works were analyzed, and their insipidity and shallowness exposed without mercy. For a time this attack rendered the periodical an object of dislike in Iceland, but it gave a hard blow to the * * rimur. ' ' The devotional literature, still constituted the larger portion of printed books, and that found little favor with the re- formers, who made a plea for a more generous output of secular literature. As one of them said— himself a theologian : ' 'Although our ultimate goal be Heaven, we must not forget that the road thereto leads over the earth, and therefore earthly things must not be neglected." But they did not rest in mere analysis and
XI
censure ; they were as competent to build up as to tear down. Tomas Saemundsson's patriotic enthusiasm for progress has since found an echo in every Icelandic heart ; Konra9 Gislason's prose gave the best possible example of a clear and correct style ; and Jonas Hallgrimsson's poetry was as perfect in outward form as it was lofty in sentiment. It was upon the foundations laid by such men as these that the literature of the nineteenth century was built ; and the linguistic reforms they inaugurated have made Icelandic one of the purest of written languages.
Space does not permit even a brief outline of the literature sub- sequent to the beginnings of this renaissance, and we must resist the temptation even to mention the chief points in the development that followed it. This development was somewhat slow at first, but the results have been satisfactory. Never in modern times has Icelandic literature been more flourishing than it is at present. Never before, since the settlement of the country, has such an earnest effort been made by this small nation to assert its independence both intellectually and politically. Considering the size of the population, the literary output is very large ; and in quality as well as variety it is, I believe, worthy of all respect. The poets are as numerous as ever, but they do not now hold such a dominant position as formerly ; novelists and writers of short stories have increased in numbers, and claim more attention even than the poets. Until recently, the drama had been but a small element in Icelandic literature, conditions having been un- favorable to its growth ; but now there are Icelandic dramatists who have won recognition even outside of their native land. Historical and philological studies, for which the Icelanders have always had a predilection, are pursued with as much zeal as ever, yet in a more critical and scholarly way ; and research in the natural and physical sciences is being carried on by a number of able students, the investigation of natural phenomena in Iceland itself being, of course, their special field. It is to be hoped that an added stimulus to scientific research has been given by the recent establishment of a national university.
Foreign writers have frequently and justly pointed out the great discrepancy between the intellectual and the material culture of Iceland, and have commented upon the Icelanders' customary indifference to practical affairs. They have usually
Xll
been unable to account for this indifference, but it has its ex- planation, of course, in Icelandic history. For centuries the island was governed from the Danish capital, far away across the sea, and the inhabitants were seldom consulted about the affairs of their land ; or their counsels, when solicited, were often dis- regarded. Furthermore, the commercial monopoly under which the country suffered for two centuries paralysed all enterprise, and stifled the initiative of the people. Accordingly, an indif- ference to practical affairs became habitual, and the nation found a solace in literary pursuits. A change of attitude was first noticeable when, after a long and weary struggle, in which Jon SigurSsson, the eminent scholar and one of Iceland's greatest men, took the leading part, a partial autonomy was granted to the island in 1874 ; but the change is more easily marked since 1904, when the seat of government was transferred from Copenhagen to Reykjavik. To-day the national spirit is at length fully awake, and the Icelanders are determined to work with might and main for the material welfare of their country. The progress that has been made even in this short period is in many respects most re- markable. The government has done everything in its power to promote industries, farming, and commercial enterprises, and to improve the means of communication ; in a word, it has done all that it could to better the condition of the people. Nor has the matter of education been neglected. The Icelanders are a nation of some 90,000 people, occupying a vast, rugged, and infertile country, yet maintaining a university with four faculties, a college, two popular high-schools ( ' 'realskolar' ' ), four agricultural schools, one nautical school, and contributing freely to the sup- port of other more elementary educational institutions. Such a people can scarcely be deemed neglectful of public instruction, or bereft of national courage in the face of difi&culties. I doubt whether anywhere else in the world there is a group of men of an equal number with so much fortitude and vitality as the Icelandic nation.
And now let us turn to the present volume. And first as to the method of presentation : I have chosen the bio-bibliograph- ical form for two reasons. For one, this kind of book at present seems to be popular. Almost every country now has its " Who's Who", and some have several, covering different fields. As for
XUl
the second reason, I think that by this method, perhaps, it is easier within a limited space to display the literary activity of a nation in its various phases than by a summary sketch in the form of a literary history. I have included only living authors, and of these only such as are of some consequence. If all who have published a work or works of some bulk had been included, the list would have been greatly extended, and the number of entries doubled, or more than doubled. Such an extension would hardly have added much to the value of the book ; — and I was also restricted as to space. In the case of each author listed the principal biographical data have here been recorded, and particu- larly such facts as have a bearing upon his literary work ; and at the end of the paragraph (under the heading Biogr. ) references are given to books or articles in periodicals on the author in question, where further information about him and his work can be had. As to academical degrees, I may add that when no other college is mentioned the degree of A.B. is from the College of Iceland, while the higher degrees unless otherwise specified are from the University of Copenhagen ; the Theological and Medical Schools, often referred to, now represent faculties in the University of Iceland. The candidate's degree {candidatus juris, medicines, magisterii, theologicB^, most nearly corresponds to the doctoral degree in American universities. Titles of books in Icelandic are usually accompanied by an English translation, while titles of articles in periodicals, as a rule, are given only in English ; titles in other languages, whether of books or articles, are ordinarily given in those languages. For the sake of clear- ness it would have been desirable to quote titles in a font differ- ing from the type for the rest of the material, but the lack of Icelandic characters in other types than ordinary roman made this impossible.
The Appendix contains a list of principal works on Icelandic literature subsequent to the middle of the sixteenth century. The list is not exhaustive, but I trust it may be helpful to any who desire information on the subject. Of late, more has been written about Iceland in German than in any other language, and for the most part the German writers, such as Maurer, Schweitzer, Poestion, Kiichler, and Herrmann, have shown adequate knowledge and a sympathy with their subject. The
XIV
Icelanders are under special obligation to Herr Poestion for his excellent works and his unflagging interest in their country.
Many of the authors mentioned in the following pages have been kind enough at my request to furnish information about themselves and their works. For this I desire here publicly to thank them. I wish also to record my indebtedness to Mr. J6hann Kristjansson, the genealogist, for various items of information with which he has supplied me.
