Altnordische Philologie

The handbook gives a broad overview of Old Norwegian and Old Icelandic language and literature, covering the areas of hand-writing, text criticism, runology, palaeography, names, language history from Old Norse to Middle Norwegian, sagas, eddas, and skaldic poetry. Originally published in Norway in 2004, this edition has been revised to address a German audience and has been supplemented with additional literature.
