Konungr, heill ok svá snjallir,
sóknǫrr, (við lof gǫrvan
óð hafa menn í munni
mínn) húskarlar þínir.
 
‘Good health to you, battle-eager king, and also to your valiant housecarls; men have my poem, replete with praise, in their mouths.
Gollstríðir verpr glóðum
— gefr auð konungr rauðan —
(óþjóðar bregðr eyðir)
armleggs (Grana farmi).
 
‘The gold-harmer [GENEROUS RULER] throws embers of the arm [GOLD]; the king gives red wealth; the destroyer of evildoers [JUST RULER] flings the load of Grani <legendary horse> [GOLD].

Information about a text: poem, sequence of stanzas, or prose work

This page is used for different resources. For groups of stanzas such as poems, you will see the verse text and, where published, the translation of each stanza. These are also links to information about the individual stanzas.

For prose works you will see a list of the stanzas and fragments in that prose work, where relevant, providing links to the individual stanzas.

Where you have access to introduction(s) to the poem or prose work in the database, these will appear in the ‘introduction’ section.

The final section, ‘sources’ is a list of the manuscripts that contain the prose work, as well as manuscripts and prose works linked to stanzas and sections of a text.
