The couplet (SnSt Frag) is transmitted in mss A (main ms.) and W of TGT and it is attributed to Snorri in both mss. Björn Magnússon Ólsen (TGT 1884, 183-4) suggests that the fragment belonged to a praise poem for a saint rather than to a poem glorifying Bishop Guðmundr Arason of Hólar, who is the bishop addressed in the poem (see also Finnur Jónsson in TGT 1927, 95). Both Björn Magnússon Ólsen (TGT 1884, 183) and Finnur Jónsson (TGT 1927, 95) propose that Snorri composed the poem during the winter of 1209-10 when Guðmundr stayed with him at Reykholt (Stu 1878, I, 222-3), which is quite possible. |
