_Kongs Skuggsia_ (Vol. ii., pp 296. 335.).--This noble monument of Old
Norse literature was written at the close of the twelfth century by a
Norwegian of high rank, but who expresses his resolution to remain unknown,
in which he has perfectly succeeded. He probably resided near Trondhjem.
See, for other information, the preface to the last excellent edition
lately published by _Keyser_, _Munch_, and _Unger_, as follows:--
"Speculum Regale Konungs-Skuggsjá Konge-Speilet et
philosophisk-didaktisk Skrift, forfattet i Norge mod slutningen af det
tolfte aarhundrede. Tilligemed et samtidigt Skrift om den norske kirkes
Stilling til Statem. Med to lithographerede Blade
Facsimile-Aftryck."--Christiana, 1848. 8vo.
