Eddic poetry and the imagery of stone monuments

2016
Many myths and legends preserved in eddic poetry had likely circulated in various artistic media long before they were shaped into the poetic forms that have come down to us in the Codex Regius collection of eddic poems (GKS 2365 4°; c. 1270) and other manuscripts.

Alliterative lexical collocations in eddic poetry

2016
Lexical collocations stem from the diction of traditional oral alliterative poetry and may be regarded as one of the stylistic features which characterise the corpus of mythological and heroic lays preserved in Codex Regius (GKS 2365, 4°).
