PRELIMINARY REMARKS.

Hitherto the narrative has been more or less fragmentary. With Olaf

Trygvason's Saga reliable history begins, and the narration is full and

connected. The story of Hakon the earl is incorporated in this saga.

Accounts of Olaf Trygvason may be found in Od the Monk's legendary saga,

in parts of "Agrip", "Historia Norvegiae", and in Thjodrek. Icelandic

works on this epoch are:

"Egla", "Eyrbyggja", "Finboga", "Floamanna", "Faereyinga", "Hallfredar

Saga", "Havardar Saga", "Are's Islendinga-bok", "Kristni Saga",

"Laxdaela", "Ljosvetninga", "Njala", "Orkneyinga", "Viga Glums Saga",

and "Viga Styrs Saga".

The skalds quoted are: Glum Geirason, Eyvind Finson, Skaldaspiller,

Einar Skalaglam, Tind Halkelson, Eyjolf Dadaskald, Hallarstein,

Halfred Vandraedaskald, Haldor Ukristne, Skule Thorsteinson, and Thord

Kolbeinson.
