Øxar heiti — Þul ØxarIII

Anonymous Þulur

Elena Gurevich 2017, ‘ Anonymous, Øxar 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. 813. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=3195> (accessed 23 April 2024)

 

This þula (Þul Øxar) contains heiti for ‘axe’. It is recorded in mss R (main ms.), Tˣ, C, A and B (and 744ˣ) of Skm (SnE). It has the heading Øxar heiti ‘Names for axe’ in B and øxa heiti in the plural form in A (written in red ink). In the þulur-sequence, Þul Øxar is preceded by Þul Sverða and followed by Þul Spjóts in all mss. With the exception of skeggja ‘bearded one’ (l. 3) and regin- ‘mighty-’ (l. 5) all these heiti are also recorded in LaufE (mss papp10ˣ(50r), 2368ˣ(122) and 743ˣ(92v); LaufE 1979, 298-9, 384). They occur in the same order as in the þula, and the forms of the heiti seem to be closest to ms. Tˣ (and R) of SnE (although in a couple of instances they correspond to the A, B redaction). The LaufE mss have not been included among the mss in the present edition, but the LaufE variants are discussed in the Notes when pertinent. The same list of heiti is also found in RE 1665(Kk), but that list must have been copied from a LaufE ms. and has not been considered here.
