Note to Kálf Kátr 51VII

[3] Vítulus: Lat. word meaning ‘calf’ = Kálfr, name of the poet (cf. 49/1); Jón Þorkelsson (1888, 236) and Kock (NN §2969) draw attention to the fact that the name Vítulus vátes also appears in Völsungs rímur hins óborna and believe that Kátrínar drápa and Völsungs rímur were composed by the same poet.
