Kolbeinn TumasonKari Ellen Gade 2017, ‘ Kolbeinn Tumason, Lausavísa’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 270. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=3395> (accessed 28 April 2024)
This helmingr (Kolb Lv 7) is preserved in TGT (mss A, the main ms. for this edition, and W), and it is attributed to ‘Kolbeinn’ in both mss. This is most likely to be the Icelandic chieftain Kolbeinn Tumason (d. 1208), and the author of TGT, Óláfr Þórðarson, would certainly have been familiar with Kolbeinn’s poetry. For Kolbeinn’s Biography and the rest of his poetic oeuvre, Lv 1-6, 8-10IV and JónvIV, see SkP IV.
