HEIMSKRINGLA
HEIMSKRINGLA is the largest collection of Old Norse and Nordic source texts on the internet – currently some 9000 titles.
HEIMSKRINGLA primarily consists of Eddic texts, sagas, and skaldic poetry, as well as background material and sources on Sami, Finnish, and Greenlandic culture.
HEIMSKRINGLA is based on the belief that these texts – as part of our shared cultural heritage – should be freely accessible to everyone.
Henrik Rytter’s Beowulf og striden um Finnsborg is the first complete Norwegian translation of the Old English heroic poem Beowulf. Rytter rendered the work into Nynorsk and sought to preserve both its alliterative verse form and its archaic tone. At the same time, he strove to convey the rhythm and epic power of the original, adhering closely to its structure and imagery. The translation is marked by a consciously Nordic and historical language intended to bring the poem closer to the shared Nordic cultural heritage. Rytter’s version is an important contribution to the transmission of medieval heroic poetry in modern Norwegian.
This is Heimskringla’s fifth version of the poem Beowulf.
The account of previously little-known forms of Norwegian folk religion presented here is the result of many years of research. In all essential respects it is based on the scholarly material previously presented and published in two monographs issued by Videnskapsakademiet in Oslo, namely «Fedrekult i Norge. Et forsøk på en systematisk og deskriptiv behandling.» (Ancestor Worship) Oslo 1938. Og: «Huskult og Hinsidighetstro. Nye studier i norsk fedredyrkelse.» (Household Cult and Belief in the Afterlife) presented to Videnskapsakademiet in 1940 and published in 1943–44.
Biographical Index: Briefly on manuscript collectors, scholars, and authors who have had an influence on the conservation, publication and interpretation of Old Norse source material.
