Note to stanza1. 37. Sigvatr Þórðarson, 12. Lausavísur, 28 [Vol. 1, 734] [8] skript ‘a document’: It is unknown what document is referred to here. It is usually assumed (e.g. in ÍF 28) to be a letter from Ástríðr to Magnús in Russia, resulting in his return to Sweden. In Hkr 1991 it is tentatively suggested that the document is Ástríðr’s written affirmation of Magnús’s right to the throne. Björn Magnússon Ólsen (1913, 57-8) would make skript the direct object of fœrðak ‘I brought’ in l. 4, emended from fœrak. Kock (NN §§681, 1879) discerns instead a reference to Sigvatr’s penitential pilgrimage to Rome (cf. Lv 23), on the basis of perceived parallels in early English. Finnur Jónsson makes no attempt to translate ll. 7-8 in Skj B, though he had made tentative suggestions in Hkr 1893-1901, IV. referencesSkj B = Finnur Jónsson ed.… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Sigv Lv 28, n. 8 (SkP 1) NN = Kock, Ernst Albin. 1923-44. … ∙ is referred to in ∙ Sigv Lv 28, n. 8 (SkP 1) ÍF 26-8 = Bjarni Aðalbjarn… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Sigv Lv 28, n. 8 (SkP 1) Hkr 1893-1901 = Finnur Jón… ∙ is referred to in ∙ Sigv Lv 28, n. 8 (SkP 1) Hkr 1991 = Bergljót S.
