Vol. III. Poetry from Treatises on Poetics 7. Introduction 4. Sources 4.1. Sources for skaldic poetry in the present edition: manuscripts, facsimiles and editions 4.1.5. Poetry in this edition found in other sources

4.1.5. Poetry in this edition found in other sources

A small number of single stanzas and one longer poem, RvHbreiðm Hl, are found in mss that do not contain treatises on grammar and poetics. In most cases, these sources and the mss are discussed in detail in other volumes of SkP, and rather than repeating the information given in those volumes, this poetry, with appropriate ms. references, is listed below. If a poem or stanza is found in a ms. or mss not discussed elsewhere, full information on the mss is provided. The present subsection is divided into two parts, the first of which (A) lists poetry that is found both in one or more of the poetric treatises and in mss that do not contain treatises on poetics and grammar. The second sub-group (B) lists poetry that is transmitted only in mss that do not contain such treatises. The stanzas and poems are given in alphabetical order (with the anonymous poetry at the end).
