R. D. Fulk 2017, ‘ Hallgrímr, Fragment’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 226. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=2979> (accessed 7 May 2024)
The fragment (Hallg Frag) is recorded only in the Y redaction of LaufE, in mss 743ˣ (main ms.) and 2368ˣ, in both of which it is attributed to Hallgrímr. It was copied from a LaufE Y ms. in RE 1665(Kk2), but that work has not been used in the present edition. The fragment is in regularised Haðarlag ‘Hǫðr’s metre’ (named from an unidentified poet), a form which Snorri defines as having five syllables to a line, with rhymes and alliteration as in dróttkvætt (which he illustrates with SnSt Ht 79).
