 Description

The Saga Corpus contains 41 texts of Old Icelandic narrative texts: Family Sagas (Íslendingasögur, 982,006 words), Sturlunga Saga (260,586 words), Sagas of the Kings of Norway (Heimskringla, 231,502 words) and the Book of Settlement (Landnámabók, 37,120 words). The total size of the corpus is 1,511,275 words. The texts of the Family Sagas are taken from the publication of Svart á hvítu (Halldórsson et al. (eds.), 1985-1986) and also the text of Sturlunga Saga (Thorsson et al. (eds.), 1988). The text of Heimskringla is from the publication of Mál og menning from the year 1991 (Kristjánsdóttir et al. (eds.), 1991). The spelling was normalized to Modern Icelandic spelling and some inflectional endings were changed to Modern Icelandic form. The text of the Book of Settlement is from Jakob Benediktsson (1968) but has been normalized to Modern Icelandic spelling in the same way as the other texts. List of the texts can be found here. One of the texts is Íslendingaþættir, a collection of tales, called þættir. The texts have been normalized to Modern Icelandic spelling. Several inflectional endings were also changed to Modern Icelandic form. The texts are encoded in a special xml-format defined by the TEI (Text Encoding Initiative). Bibliographical information is included with all the texts.
