Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages

Skaldic Poetry of the Scandinavian Middle Ages is project which is editing the corpus of Old Norse-Icelandic skaldic poetry.[1] 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] Five volumes have been published and three of these 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]
