EDITOR'S P R E F A C E The study of the Middle Ages has been developed chiefly within university departments such as English or History. This pattern is increasingly being supplemented by an interdisciplinary approach in which the plan of work is shaped to fit the subject studied. The difference of approach is between Chaucer the English poet and Chaucer the civil servant of London attached to the court of Richard II, a man interested in the Ptolemaic Universe and widely read in Latin, French and Italian. Such interdisciplinary programmes tend to lead readers into areas relatively unfamiliar to them where critical bibliographies prepared with careful selectivity by an expert are essential. The Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto takes such an interdisciplinary approach to the Middle Ages and the need for such bibliographies has become apparent in our work. The Centre has undertaken to meet this need by sponsoring the Toronto Medieval Bibliographies. Each title presents a list of works selected with three specific aims. One is to aid students relatively new to the area covered by the title, for example Old Norse and Icelandic. Another is to guide more advanced readers in a subject where they have had little formal training, for example, Medieval Rhetoric or Latin Literature; and the third is to assist new libraries in forming a basic collection in the subject presented. These aims of the series indicate that volumes should be selective and reasonably brief; they are not meant to be inclusive listings for readers already expert in the subjects. Individual compilers are given scope to organize a

6

presentation that they judge will best suit their subject and also to make brief critical comments as they think fit. Clarity and usefulness of a volume are preferred over any demand for exact uniformity from one volume to another. J.L.

PREFACE This bibliography was compiled to serve as an intelligent student's guide to Old Norse-Icelandic studies, an area of scholarship that is well defined both geographically and chronologically by the most commonly used definition of Old Norse as the language(s) of Norway until c. 1370 and of Iceland until 1540. It is by nature selective, but offers a fairly wide range of different kinds of material relevant for the study of the language, literature, and other aspects of civilization in Norway and Iceland in the Middle Ages. The references to standard handbooks and bibliographies will furnish the student with sufficient additional bibliographical information, if his studies take him outside the ground covered here. An effort has been made to include sufficient books and articles in English and German so that the student with little knowledge of modern Scandinavian languages will have adequate secondary material for Old Norse-Icelandic studies. For the advanced student a reading knowledge of other Northern tongues and a sound knowledge of Old Norse are desirable. I have had the English-speaking students' interests in mind and have listed a large number of translations into English; apart from a general reference to Thule, the many, and often excellent, translations of Old Norse texts into German or one of the modern Scandinavian languages have not been included. The plans for this bibliography were made during my stay as Visiting Professor of Old Norse in the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto during the academic year 1965-66. I had collected and classified the material by

8

the end of March 1966., which is the cut-off date. My original files contained more than twice the amount of material presented here; although it was sometimes hard to cut out old favourites among books of Old Norse lore and learning, I stopped at the present size and scope of the bibliography. For the student or scholar interested in Old Norse-Icelandic studies living in or near Toronto, this bibliography will have an extra attraction, since the Centre for Medieval Studies, in collaboration with the University Library, has made most, and will eventually make all, titles in this book available through the libraries on the campus. Almost every period of the literary history is represented among the recommended readings in Section IV: remnants of pre-Christian literature or tradition, various types of medieval epic, romance, and works from the last centuries of the Middle Ages. From the earliest specimens of literary creativity in Norway and Iceland down to the late medieval examples of Icelandic writing, more than half a millennium passed. The Norwegian and the much more numerous Icelandic manuscripts are the foundation of the modern study of the literature of this period. References to facsimile editions are found throughout this book, an admonition to pay attention to the Old Norse manuscripts from the earliest fragments from c. 1150, through the beautiful examples of Icelandic manuscript production in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, to some valuable post-medieval manuscripts. Section IV is divided into various groups reflecting the traditional division of Old Norse-Icelandic literature into Skaldic poetry, Eddie poetry, Islendinga sogur, Konunga sogur and so on, although it is sometimes difficult to see the virtues of this system. Since some sort of order was called for, I followed tradition and made use of the old categories in

9

this section; it has the advantage that texts of a natural affinity or texts grouped together by eminent editors such as Finnur Jonsson, Rafn or Unger are found under one general heading. In this and other respects I have tried to suppress my own prejudices or inclinations. For friendly criticism through all stages of the work, I am indebted to Professors L. K. Shook, B. Wilkinson, J. F. Leyerle, and H. N. Milnes. Dr. R. H. Blackburn, Chief Librarian of the University of Toronto, also helped me, as did Mr. Thorkil Damsgaard Olsen, my co-editor of the annual Bibliography of Old Norse-Icelandic Studies. I owe them all a debt of gratitude. Finally, my thanks go to two librarians, who, in the spirit of their profession, gave me generous help in compiling the bibliography: Miss Joan Magee of the University of Windsor, who assisted in collecting material for the first draft^ and Mrs. Else Bekker-Nielsen, my wife, who assisted me through all stages of the work, both in Toronto, when the main work was done, and in Copenhagen during a slight revision of the manuscript. I wish to acknowledge the generous financial assistance from the Canada Council that allowed me to concentrate on bibliographical work during my stay in Toronto from September 1965 to April 1966. Toronto, April 1966, and Copenhagen, October 1966. H. B-N.

THE DEVICE OF THE CENTRE FOR MEDIEVAL STUDIES The Orb and Four was widely used as a device of early printers. The Orb is of southern origin and is also called mundus, pomum imperiale, ball, or globe; it stood for the world and was commonly part of the regalia of medieval kings. The Orb is a schematic map pa mundi with the bottom half representing Asia, and the upper quadrants, Africa and Europe. The Four was widely used as a trade mark, especially on bales belonging to merchants of the staple, and also as a mark of craftsmen. It was of northern origin and is thought to come from the D-rune. The number four had wide significance in the Middle Ages: the four elements, the four humours, the four cardinal virtues, the fourfold exegesis of the Bible, the quadrivium of the four sciences, geometry, astronomy, arithmetic and music. The three rods form a double-barred cross and stand for the Trinity; the number three also had wide significance: the three theological virtues, the trivium of grammar, logic and rhetoric. The trivium and the quadrivium constitute the seven liberal arts of the medieval university. Seven, the sum of three and four, is the number of the planets in the Ptolemaic universe and of the deadly sins. Twelve, the multiple of three and four, is the number of the months, of the signs of the zodiac, of the Apostles and is the Germanic base of counting, hence dozen and Charlemagne's doze per. The full symbolism of the Four, but lightly sketched here, extends to the whole world, the Orb on which it rests.
