"Saga Heilagrar Onnu", is a translation of the Low German version
of the Legend of St. Anne, "Sunte Annen legend und all oeres
geschlechtes", a text printed by Hans Dorn in Braunschweig in 1507
and commonly referred to as the "St. Annen Buchlein". The Icelandic
text survives fragmentarily in two manuscripts, dated to 1550-1575
and 1600-1650 respectively. The translation was in all likelihood
made sometime in the first half of the sixteenth century, possibly
at the Episcopal seat of Holar. This edition includes the text of
both surviving manuscripts with corresponding Low German text on
facing pages. The introduction contains a full palaeographic and
orthographic description of the manuscripts, as well as a
discussion of the cult of St. Anne and its transmission in Iceland.
