HEIMSKRINGLA HEIMSKRINGLA is the largest collection of Old Norse and Nordic source texts on the internet – currently some 7200 titles. HEIMSKRINGLA primarily consists of eddic texts, sagas, and scaldic poetry, secondarily of background material and sources related to Sami culture. HEIMSKRINGLA is based on the belief that these texts – as part of our common cultural heritage – should be freely available to everyone.		SHOP
WE PRESENT: digitalized Nordiske Folks Overtroe, Guder, Fabler og Helte By Jacob Bærent Møinichen, 1800. In the year 1800, Jacob Bærent Møinichen published this almost 500-page reference work on the mythology and legendary history of the Nordic peoples. With its 1000 entries, the author not only covers all the Old Norse gods and mythological beings but also many of the legendary kings, heroes, and villains that appear in Saxo's Chronicle. The work provides a good impression of how far mythologists during the national romanticism period were willing to go to make all the pieces fit together - even if it resulted in four Odins and three Thor figures. Several of the entries contain curious information and entertaining comments.	WE PRESENT: on print Solsönernas Saga By Valdemar Lindholm Solsönernas Saga is the saga of the Sámi people. »It is a people,« writes the author, »who have thought and dreamed big – a people who have had their great thinkers and heroes. A people of poets and dreamers.«  Lindholm's work is folk poetry and consists of a series of independent tales that together form a grand Sámi epic, akin to the Finnish epic Kalevala. The content is based, among other sources, on material collected by Anders Fjellner, Jakob Fellman, and Valdemar Lindholm himself. – Read more about the book here or order it through Heimskringla Reprint.
