This
þula (
Þul Brynju) contains
heiti for ‘mail-shirt’. It is recorded in mss R (main ms.),
Tˣ, C, A and B (and
744ˣ) of
SnE. In mss A and B (represented by
744ˣ), the
þula has the heading
Brynju heiti ‘Names for mail-shirt’, in A written in red ink. In the
þulur-sequence,
Þul Brynju is preceded by
Þul Hjálms and followed by
Þul Sjóvar in all the mss.
LaufE (
LaufE 1979, 263, 339; mss
papp10ˣ(39v),
2368ˣ(87),
743ˣ(68v)) includes only four of the
heiti in the present
þula, and the forms of the
heiti correspond to the R,
Tˣ, C redaction. RE 1665(Ee) follows
LaufE but adds two
heiti not recorded elsewhere. Neither work has been considered in the present edition.
