Trollkvenna heiti — Þul TrollkvennaIII

Anonymous Þulur

Elena Gurevich 2017, ‘ Anonymous, Trollkvenna heiti’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 723. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=3185> (accessed 20 April 2024)

 

This þula (Þul Trollkvenna) is recorded in mss R (main ms.), Tˣ, C, A and B (and 744ˣ) of SnE. The þula contains the names of troll-women or giantesses (the two categories are more or less indistinguishable). In mss Tˣ, A and B the chapter heading is Trollkvenna heiti ‘Names of troll-women’ (in A written in red ink). In the sequence of þulur in mss R, Tˣ and C, Þul Trollkvenna is preceded by Þul Jǫtna I and followed by Þul Þórs. In mss A and B, Þul Trollkvenna is preceded by Þul Jǫtna I-II, which are not divided into two separate lists (see Introductions to Þul Jǫtna I, Þul Jǫtna II), and followed by Þul Óðins. All of the names contained in this þula are also recorded in LaufE (LaufE 1979, 307-8, 399) and in RE 1665(Ll3). The list in LaufE, which was copied in RE 1665, is derived from a ms. close to A, and the LaufE mss have not been consulted for the present edition.
