Condition: very good. Turnhout : Brepols, 1992. Paperback. 90 pp. (Typologie des sources du Moyen Âge occidental. A. Sources écrités. VII : Sources littératures proprement dites. Fasc. 62). French text. - This volume offers an in-depth analysis of scaldic poetry, a complex and highly formalized poetic tradition practiced by court poets (skalds) in medieval Scandinavia from the 9th to the 14th century. Often composed to praise kings or commemorate heroic deeds, these poems are marked by intricate meter, dense kennings, and mythological allusions. The study situates scaldic poetry alongside la poésie eddique - a collection of anonymous Old Norse poems preserved mainly in the Poetic Edda (13th century) - and the Edda de Snorri (or Prose Edda), written by Snorri Sturluson around 1220. Both Eddas provide important contexts for understanding Norse mythology and poetics. The volume explores poetic forms, oral transmission, manuscript preservation, and the cultural interplay between pagan and Christian themes within the medieval Nordic literary tradition. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9782503360621. Keywords : MEDIEVAL STUDIES, theology.
