Lausavísur — SnH LvII

Sneglu-Halli

Kari Ellen Gade 2009, ‘ Sneglu-Halli, 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. 323-32. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=1375> (accessed 23 April 2024)

 

All of Halli’s lvv. (SnH Lv 1-11) are recorded in Sneglu-Halla þáttr (Snegl). The þáttr exists in two versions, a shorter version found in Mork and H-Hr (including Lv 1, 4-6), and a longer version in Flat, comprising all the lvv. and additional prose. Snegl appears to have been abbreviated in Mork, but the Mork version bears all the marks of being older than the Flat version, which may have incorporated later material concerning Halli (see ÍF 9, cix-cxii). For a discussion of the mss, see Introduction to Hharð Lv 9. AM 593b breaks off after Lv 4. AM 761 b 4°ˣ (761bˣ) is a copy of H here, and select variants from that ms. are given only for Lv 6, where H is now partly damaged. Lv 4 consists of a dialogue between Halli and Haraldr harðráði, with the two composing alternate ll. The st. has been printed in this vol. as Hharð Lv 9. In addition to Hharð Lv 9, Snegl also contains ÞjóðA Lv 5-8.
