This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.

An identifiable individual responsible for composing one or more textual outputs. Poets (skalds) are distinguished by the 'skaldic' (boolean) column.

Other columns in this table include:

  • biography: html fragment containing a biography for the skald or author
  • century: the century in which the skald appears in Skj
  • Generic columns documented elsewhere: name, abbr, skp_v, skp_p, skjname, skja, skjb, notes, mtime
  • Links:
  • editor_id ('editors' table: person responsible for the bulk of the skald's work),
  • biography_editor_id ('editors' table: person responsible for the biography),
  • volume_id ('volumes' table: volume where the skald appears as a heading/section),
  • place_thing_id ('thing' table: skald's birthplace)
