Lausavísur — Rv LvII

Rǫgnvaldr jarl Kali Kolsson

Judith Jesch 2009, ‘ Rǫgnvaldr jarl Kali Kolsson, Lausavísur’ in Kari Ellen Gade (ed.), Poetry from the Kings’ Sagas 2: From c. 1035 to c. 1300. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 2. Turnhout: Brepols, pp. 575-609. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=1346> (accessed 26 April 2024)

 

Thirty-two of Rǫgnvaldr’s lvv. (Rv Lv 1-32) are transmitted in Orkn (for Lv 33-5III, see SkP III). They fall into several thematic groups, most of which also include sts by Rǫgnvaldr’s fellow-poets: youthful lvv. (Lv 1-3); lvv. about miscellaneous events, mostly political, in Orkney (Lv 4-5, 32; cf. Anon Orkn, Bót Lv); lvv. responding to, or associated with, lvv. by other poets (Lv 6, 13; cf. Árm Lv 1, Hbreiðm Lv, Oddi Lv 1); lvv. associated with Shetland (Lv 7-12, 14?); the Ermingerðr of Narbonne lvv. (Lv 15-17, 19-22, 25; cf. Árm Lv 3, Oddi Lv 2), which overlap with further lvv. concerning the journey to and from the Holy Land (Lv 18, 23-4, 26, 30-31; cf. Árm Lv 2, 4, Oddi Lv 3, Sigm Lv 1, Þsvart Lv); and lvv. in the Holy Land (Lv 27-9; cf. Sigm Lv 2).

Lv 4-11, 13, 17-19, 21, 23-30 are transmitted in Flat (Flat) and also in R702ˣ, a collection of sts from a lost ms. of Orkn, and its copy 762ˣ. Flat is the main ms. for these sts, as it is for Lv 20, 22, which are not preserved in R702ˣ. Lv 1-3, 15-16, 31-2 are in the same mss and also in the fragmentary saga-ms. 325I, which is thus the main ms. for these. Despite its late date and compilatory character, R702ˣ is quite high up the stemma and its readings are occasionally preferred to both main mss where justified. Moreover, it is the only source for Lv 12, 14. Lv 7 is the only one of Rǫgnvaldr’s lvv. which is transmitted both in Orkn and in the treatises on poetics, in this case LaufE, which also transmits Rv Lv 34-5III.

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.
