Hello All

As I indicated before the holidays, one of my winter projects is translating The Saga of King Heidrek the Wise using the new 50th anniversary edition with notes by Christopher Tolkien. Although a rather late saga, it does contain selections of older prose and poetry including fragments of the oldest Norse we have The Battle of the Goths and the Huns. If anyone is interested in working on this with me I can do a weekly posting page by page of the Old Norse and we can translate together.  it's a great story that includes a magic sword, a barrow wight and action that takes place in Mirkvir - very Tolkienan!!

Subject: [norse_course] Old Norse Bible?


 
Hello, I was wondering if a translation the Bible translated into Old Norse existed?  I would assume not, as most Bibles in medieval times would be in Latin, but would a modern version exist?
That could be very helpful to me in learning the language of my ancestors.
Takk.
