Skaldic poetry
Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages is a project which is editing the corpus of Old Norse-Icelandic skaldic poetry.,[1] along with all poetry written down in runes. The project will publish nine volumes and is supported by a website. The corpus comprises 5797 verses by 447 skalds preserved in 718 manuscripts.[2] As of October 2021, five volumes have been published, all of which can be accessed via the project's website.[3]
Anatoly Liberman wrote in a review of volume 7: "As far as the textual criticism and decipherment of skaldic poetry are concerned, after this edition not much is left for anyone to add".[4]
