{"product_id":"einarr-sklasons-geisli-martin-chase-9780802038227","title":"Einarr Sk伃ason's Geisli: A Critical Edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeisli\u003c\/i\u003e is the earliest Nordic Christian dr疳a (long stanzaic poem) known to exist. Written by Einarr Sk伃ason, the twelfth century's premier Icelandic poet, Geisli marked a stylistic shift in Old Norse poetry brought about by Christianity and European learning. Einarr Sk伃ason was a priest as well as a skald, and his writing demonstrates that he was as familiar with the traditions of Latin liturgy and hagiography as with the conventions of skaldic poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeisli\u003c\/i\u003e is a very important source for the modern scholar studying Old Norse hagiography and the history of Christianity in Iceland and Norway. This new critical edition features a version in normalized orthography, as well as a version in prose word order, a translation into English, a complete glossary, an introduction that situates the poem in its context, and substantial explanatory notes. Editor Martin Chase uses the famous \u003ci\u003eFlateyjarb\u003c\/i\u003e manuscript as a base text, but takes into account all known manuscripts of the poem. Long needed by scholars, this new edition will be extremely valuable to anyone with an interest in Old Norse as well as medievalists in other disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Chase\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802038220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802038227\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 318","brand":"Martin Chase","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44058196476159,"sku":"9780802038227","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ed8c202-7cc2-446e-8fd5-b304202be0a4.jpg?v=1685051188","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/einarr-sklasons-geisli-martin-chase-9780802038227","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
