Kari Ellen Gade 2017, ‘ Guðbrandr í Svǫlum, Fragment’ in Kari Ellen Gade and Edith Marold (eds), Poetry from Treatises on Poetics. Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages 3. Turnhout: Brepols, p. 198. <https://skaldic.org/m.php?p=text&i=3391> (accessed 26 April 2024)
This fragment (
Guðbr Frag 2) is transmitted in
TGT (mss A (main ms.) and W), as well as in a fragment of an otherwise unknown treatise on poetic diction, the so-called
Fifth Grammatical Treatise (
GrammSkáld), preserved at the very beginning of ms. A(1r). The couplet is attributed to Guðbrandr í Svǫlu (so ms. A, twice) or í Svǫlum (W). For his Biography and the other stanza allegedly composed by him (
Guðbr Frag 1IV), see
SkP IV. If the latter attribution is correct, Guðbrandr lived at the beginning of the thirteenth century.
