Joseph Anderson (1832-1916), curator of the National Museum of
Antiquities of Scotland, edited this version of the saga of the
earls of Orkney, translated by Jon Hjaltalin and Gilbert Goudie,
and published in 1873. Anderson (whose works on the archaeology of
Scotland from the Stone Age to the early Christian era are also
reissued in this series) provides a lengthy introduction to the
saga, discussing the geography of the islands, and using literary
and archaeological material to put the work, which is written in
Icelandic and dates from between 1170 and 1220, in context. The
first Viking incursions into the islands began in the late eighth
century, and the Norwegian king Harald Fairhair gave Orkney to the
first earl, Rognvald Eysteinsson, in compensation for the death of
his son, in about 870. Anderson also provides notes to the
translation, and an appendix with further material from the
Icelandic Flateyjarbok.
