Description

Like "Heimskringla" I, published by the Viking Society in 2011, this translation is based on the "Íslenzk fornrit" edition of "Heimskringla" by Bjarni Aðalbjarnarson ("Íslenzk fornrit" XXVI–XXVIII, "Hkr" I–III). "Óláfs saga helga" occupies the whole of "Hkr" II. Page numbers of this edition appear here in square brackets, and internal page references as well as those in the index and introduction are to this edition. The prose has been translated by Anthony Faulkes and the verses by Alison Finlay, who also wrote this Introduction. Both have contributed footnotes, but as in vol. I, many of these are closely based on those of Bjarni Aðalbjarnarson.
