January 22, 1880 issue

add to cart   close window

As the initial volume of the series of Icelandic texts to be issued by the University of Oxford no better work could have been selected by the delegates of the Clarendon Press than the "Sturlunga Saga." Its style and method distinguish it as one of the best of the many remarkable productions composed by Icelandic writers during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries, while it is comparatively free from the corruptions introduced by the copyists into the texts of the other greater sagas. In its matter it embraces the period of Iceland's annals most instructive to the student of the history of Teutonic civilization--the final century of the Icelandic republic.
