The King's Mirror (Speculum Regale-Konungs Skuggsjá): Translated From the Old Norwegian (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The King's Mirror (Speculum Regale-Konungs Skuggsjá): Translated From the Old NorwegianTable. A little later came another cycle of poems based on the heroic tales Of classical antiquity. The twelfth Century witnessed a parallel movement in Germany, which at first was largely an imitation Of contemporary French poetry. The poets, however, soon discovered literary treasures in the dim world of the Teutonic past, in the tales of the Nibelungs, in the heroic deeds of Theodoric, and in the exploits Of other heroes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

AMS Press

Originally published: New York: Columbia University Press, 1935. ix, 451 pp. "The oldest Norwegian laws, those of Gula and Frosta, go back to a time when the culture of the Middle Ages was still a somewhat novel experience in Northern Europe. Though the copies that have survived seem to date from the twelfth century and later, the codes must, in considerable part, have taken form in the eleventh century, or as early as the first generation of the Christian age. Heathendom had by that time been outlawed, but one seems justified in believing that the cult of strength and valor was for some time yet a force that had to be taken into account; for the principles that governed in the heathen age retained much of their ancient vigor, and the old civilization, rooted, as it was, in the soil itself, was able in large measure to maintain both life and validity.": Foreword, vii.
