A Test Case In Comparing Textual Evidence With Evidence From Material Culture: Conceptions Of Valhǫll, Russell Poole Mar 2011

A Test Case In Comparing Textual Evidence With Evidence From Material Culture: Conceptions Of Valhǫll, Russell Poole

Russell Poole

Medieval Icelandic manuscripts preserve poems that speak of a hall presided over by the warrior-god Óðinn (Odin) and populated by élite Viking warriors who have died gloriously in battle.

Viking-Age picture-stones (bildstenar) erected in memory of the dead on Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, contain depictions of warriors being welcomed to a great hall.

How was this hall envisaged in the Viking Age? Would it have been conceived of as a typical Viking-Age building or as something more exotic?

This poster explores these questions.

“Orð Eftir Orð,” “Orð Eftir Orði”: The Progress Of The Dictionary Of Old Norse Prose, Russell Poole

Russell Poole

Volumes 1 to 3 of the Ordbog over det norrøne prosasprog/Dictionary of Old Nordic Prose ( ONP ), along with a “User Guide,” have appeared in the last ten years, the twelfth volume, containing the Indexes, having appeared first in 1989. The project has therefore reached a point where it is possible to evaluate editorial policy. No previous dictionary rivals the ONP , each volume of which contains countless new words, definitions, and senses. The volumes offer succinct information on morphology, translations into both Danish and English, clear indications as to manuscript witnesses and bibliographical references. Understandably but regrettably poetic …
