Mariu saga, the Old Norse-Icelandic life of the Virgin Mary,
survives in nineteen manuscripts. While the 1871 edition of the
saga provides two versions based on multiple manuscripts and prints
significant variants in the notes, it does not preserve the
literary and social contexts of those manuscripts. In the extant
manuscripts Mariu saga rarely exists in the codex by itself. This
study restores the saga to its manuscript contexts in order to
better understand the meaning of the text within its manuscript
matrix, why it was copied in the specific manuscripts it was, and
how it was read and used by the different communities that
preserved the manuscripts.
