Boga heiti — Þul BogaIII

Anonymous Þulur

Elena Gurevich 2017, ‘ Anonymous, Boga 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. 821. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=3199> (accessed 19 April 2024)

 

This þula (Þul Boga) contains heiti for ‘bow’. It is recorded in mss R (main ms.), Tˣ, C, A and B (and 744ˣ) of SnE. In mss A and B, the þula has the heading Boga heiti ‘Names for bow’ (in A, written in red ink). In the þulur-sequence, Þul Boga is preceded by Þul Ǫrvar and followed by Þul Vápna. The LaufE version of this þula (LaufE 1979, 262, 339; mss papp10ˣ(39v), 2368ˣ(86), 743ˣ(68v)) lacks two of the heiti (glær ‘glaring one’ (l. 3) and skálgelmir ‘hollow-clanger’ (l. 4)). These are included in RE 1665(Ee) along with the Tˣ variant þyrnir ‘thorn’ (l. 3) and three other heiti not recorded elsewhere, as well as ‘Thomb’ (so RE 1665 = þǫmb ‘bowstring’?), an independent addition in the LaufE mss. Faulkes (Resen 1977, 41-2) suggests that Resen’s redactor may have had access to a paper ms. of SnE.
