- Title
The Saga of St. Jón of Hólar trans. by Margaret Cormack (review).
- Authors
Deusen, Natalie Van
- Abstract
While, as Cormack notes, the original Latin I vita i of Jón is lost, there are three redactions of the saga in Old Norse-Icelandic. Cormack was therefore given permission by Foote, the editors of the Íslenzk fornrit edition, and Hid íslenska bókmenntafélag to publish the English version of the text, which comprises Part II of the present work. I The Saga of St. Jón of Hólar i is, in every way, excellent, and is an extremely valuable contribution to the growing number of studies on and translations of the I biskupa sögur i and I heilagra manna sögur i that have appeared in recent years.
