Excerpt from Bibliography of the Sagas of the Kings of Norway and Related Sagas and Tales The present bibliography comprises the sagas of the kings of Norway, or as they are more commonly called the King's sagas (konunga sogur), and all minor tales (paettir) connected with them, as well as the related, more or less historical sagas and tales concerning the Faroes, the Orkneys, Denmark, Sweden and Russia (garaariki). The period of Norwegian history these sagas cover, extends from the earlier half of the ninth century down to the reign of King Magnfis lagabaetir (1263 A few tales which are to be found in the editions of the sagas, have been omitted here, because they are more properly classed with the mythic-heroic sagas (f ornaldar sogur), and will later, I hope, find place in a special bibliography of those sagas. Three Latin works on Norwegian history, written in Norway in the twelfth century have been included, as two of them, at least, are inseparable from the saga litterature. The appendix contains three literary productions, closely connected with the sagas, although differing from them as well as from each other in type.

"The purpose of the present volume is to provide the nonspecialist with a first orientation on the category of Icelandic sagas known as 'kings' sagas.' They are so titled because they typically, though not exclusively, recount the lives of the Norwegian kings from ca. 900 down to the thirteenth century."--p.vii
