A Stemma of Sigurgarðs saga frækna, and a Case Study of Saga-Anthologization
This article publishes the first stemma of the manuscripts of Sigurgarðs saga frækna, a fifteenth-century Icelandic romance, based on 58 of the 61 known witnesses. The study uses digital publication to provide open data and examine the saga’s post-medieval transmission. It also analyses manuscripts produced between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries in the Dalir region of Iceland to study how scribes assembled anthologies and how those decisions shaped later compilations.
