2. Division of the corpus into volumes and publication schedule
This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.
As Contributing Editors will have learned from Newsletter No. 2 (October 2003), our original division of the corpus into volumes has been revised. The detail (which poems/verses go in which volume) can be found under each text on the skaldic database, but the revised schedule of publication of the 9 volumes, together with their titles, is repeated here. This list constitutes Annex 1 of the agreement between the Academic Body (comprising the 5 General Editors) and Brepols Publishers to publish the Series of volumes entitled Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages, and is reproduced below, so that all editors are aware of the publication schedule relevant to the material they are editing.
