Written by Einarr Skúlason, the twelfth century?s premier Icelandic poet, Geisli marked a stylistic shift in Old Norse poetry brought about by Christianity and European learning. Einarr Skúlason was a priest as well as a skald, and his writing demonstrates that he was as familiar with the traditions of Latin liturgy and hagiography as with the conventions of skaldic poetry.Geisli is a very important source for the modern scholar studying Old Norse hagiography and the history of Christianity in Iceland and Norway. This new critical edition features a version in normalized orthography, as well as a version in prose word order, a translation into English, a complete glossary, an introduction that situates the poem in its context, and substantial explanatory notes. Editor Martin Chase uses the famous Flateyjarbók manuscript as a base text, but takes into account all known manuscripts of the poem. Long needed by scholars, this new edition will be extremely valuable to anyone with an interest in Old Norse as well as medievalists in other disciplines. 410 0$aToronto Old Norse and Icelandic studies. 606 $aPOETRY / Ancient & Classical$2bisacsh 615 7$aPOETRY / Ancient & Classical. 676 $a839/.61 702 $aChase$b Martin, 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780649703321 996 $aEinarr Skúlason's Geisli$93771781 997 $aUNINA
