Description: About the item Original title: Íslendingasögur Title in English: Sagas of Icelanders Description: The books are standard edition of The Sagas of Icelanders (Icelandic: Íslendingasögur) by The Icelandic Sagas Publishing House (Íslendingasagnaútgáfan) that is the publisher of Old Icelandic texts in Old Norse and Old Icelandic languages. The Sagas of Icelanders known as best specimens of Old Norse and Icelandic literature. They are prose narratives mostly based on historical events that mostly took place in Iceland in the ninth, tenth, and early eleventh centuries, during the so-called Saga Age. They are focused on Old Norse history, especially genealogical and family history of Icelanders. They reflect the struggle and conflict that arose within the societies of the early generations of Vikings in Iceland.Many of The Sagas of Icelanders were recorded, mostly in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The 'authors', or rather recorders of these sagas are largely unknown. One saga, Egils saga, is believed by some scholars to have been written by Snorri Sturluson, a descendant of the saga's hero, but this remains uncertain. The books contains the following sagas: I volume (Landssaga og landnám) — 1946Íslendingabók Landnámabók Kristni Hænsna-Þóris saga Eiríks saga rauða Grænlendinga saga Grænlendinga þáttr Skáld-Helga saga II volume (Borgfirðinga sögur) — 1946Egils saga Skalla-Grímssonar Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu Sigurðar þáttr borgfirzka Gísls þáttr Illugasonar Einars þáttr Skúlasonar Hellismanna saga Helga saga Hallvarðssonar III volume (Snæfelliinga sögur) — 1946Eyrbyggja saga Ævi Snorra goða Bjarnar saga Hítdælakappa Bárðar saga Snæfellsáss Víglundar saga Illuga saga Tagldarbana IV volume (Breiðfirðinga sögur) — 1946Laxdæla saga Bolla þáttr Bollasonar Halldórs þáttr Snorrasonar hinn fyrri Halldórs þáttr Snorrasonar hinn síðari Þórodds þáttr Snorrasonar Stúfs þáttr hinn meiri Stúfs þáttr hinn skemmri Geirmundar þáttr heljarskinns Þorskfirðinga saga Kumlbúa þáttr Bergbúa þáttr Króka-Refs saga Atla saga Ótryggssonar Ásmundar saga Atlasonar V volume (Vestfirðinga sögur) — 1946Gísla saga Súrssonar Gísla saga Súrssonar (upphaf yngri gerðar) Hávarðar saga Ísfirðings Fóstbræðra saga Þormóðar þáttr Völsa þáttr Auðunar þáttr vestfirzka Brands þáttr örva Þorvarðar þáttr krákunefs Hrómundar þáttr halta Hrafns þáttr Guðrúnarsonar VI volume (Húnvetninga sögur I) — 1946Grettis saga Ásmundarsonar Kormáks saga Þórðar saga hreðu Þórðar saga hreðu (brot eldri gerðar) VII volume (Húnvetninga sögur II) — 1953Vatnsdæla saga Hallfreðar saga Heiðarvíga saga Bandamanna saga in skemmri Bandamanna saga in meiri Odds þáttr Ófeigssonar Hemings þáttr Áslákssonar Þorvalds þáttr víðförla Jökuls þáttr Bárðarsonar Þorsteins þáttr skelks Gríms þáttr í Grímstungu VIII volume (Eyfirðinga sögur og Skagfirðinga) — 1953Víga-Glúms saga Þorvalds þáttr tasalda Ögmundar þáttr dytts ok Gunnars helmings Svarfdæla saga Þorleifs þáttr jarlsskálds Valla-Ljóts saga Sneglu-Halla þátt með ViðaukaHreiðars þáttr Þorgríms þáttr Hallasonar ok Bjarna Gullbrárskálds Svaða þáttr og Arnórs kerlingarnefs Þórhalls þáttr knapps Þóris þáttr ok Bárðar birtu Þjóstólfs saga hamramma Þorsteins saga Geirnefjufóstra IX volume (Þingeyinga sögur) — 1953Ljósvetninga saga Sörla þáttr Ófeigs þáttr Vöðu-Brands þáttr Þórarins þáttr ofsa Þórarins þáttr Nefjólfssonar inn fyrri Þórarins þáttr Nefjólfssonar inn síðari Reykdæla saga og Víga-Skútu Finnboga saga ramma Stjörnu-Odda draumr Íslendings þáttr óráðga Hrana saga hrings X volume (Austfirðinga sögur) — 1953Þorsteins saga hvíta Vápnfirðinga saga Þorsteins saga stangarhöggsHrafnkels saga Freysgoða Droplaugarsona saga Fljótsdæla saga Brandkrossa þáttr Gunnars saga Þiðrandabana Þorsteins saga uxafóts Þiðranda þáttr og Þórhalls Þorsteins saga Síðu-Hallssonar Þorsteins þáttr Síðu-Hallssonar Draumr Þorsteins Síðu-Hallssonar Egils þáttr Síðu-Hallssonar Þorsteins þáttr austfizka Ásu-Þórðar þáttr Gunnars saga Keldugnúpsfífls Ágrip Jökuldæla sögu XI volume (Randæinga sögur) — 1953Njáls saga Þorsteins þáttr tjaldstæðings Orms þáttur Stórólfssonar Holta-Þóris saga XII volume (Árnesinga sögur og Kjalnesinga) — 1947Flóamanna saga Haukdæla saga Ísleifs þáttr byskups Ölkofra saga Steins þáttr Skaftasonar Sighvats þáttr skálds Óttars þáttr svarta Arnórs þáttr jarlaskálds Íslendings þáttr sögufróða Þorsteins þáttr forvitna Ívars þáttr Ingimundarsonar Þórarins þáttr stuttfeldar Mána þáttur skálds Harðar saga ok Hólmverja Harðar saga Grímkelssonar (upphaf) Stefnis þáttr Þorgilssonar Kjalnesinga saga Jökuls þáttr Búasonar Ármanns saga ok Þorsteins gála Ármanns saga in yngri XIII volume (Nafnaskrá) — 1949Bindaskrá Sagnaskrá Mannanöfn Föðurnöfn Staðanöfn Staðanafnalykill Þjóðir og ættir Hlutir og dýr Kvæði og rit Þing, dómar, viðburðir o. fl.
