Saints' legends form a substantial portion of Old Norse-Icelandic
literature, and can be found in more than four hundred manuscripts
or fragments of manuscripts dating from shortly before the twelfth
century to the 1700s. With The Legends of the Saints in Old
Norse-Icelandic Prose, Kirsten Wolf has undertaken a complete
revision of the fifty-year-old handlist The Lives of the Saints in
Old Norse Prose. This updated handlist organizes saints' names,
manuscripts, and editions of individual lives with references to
the approximate dates of the manuscripts, as well as modern
Icelandic editions and translations. Each entry concludes with
secondary literature about the legend in question. These features
combine to make The Legends of the Saints in Old Norse-Icelandic
Prose an invaluable resource for scholars and students in the
field.
