In this article, Einar Ólafur Sveinsson examines the manuscripts containing Njáls saga. As the assumed archetype—which he dates to around 1280—is lost and the text only preserved in copies and copies of copies, the author raises the question, if and to what extent it would be possible to reconstruct the original text. He argues that this original text, as it was pre-sumably composed by the author of the saga, is still visible in the transmitted copies but needs to be extracted and separated from later interpolations through the methods of textual criticism. Based on these presumptions, the author presents all the known manuscripts at the time (1952) containing Njáls Saga, discusses them regarding their origin and textual value and compares the different redactions. | |||

In this article, Einar Ólafur Sveinsson examines the manuscripts containing Njáls saga. As the assumed archetype—which he dates to around 1280—is lost and the text only preserved in copies and copies of copies, the author raises the question, if and to what extent it would be possible to reconstruct the original text. He argues that this original text, as it was pre-sumably composed by the author of the saga, is still visible in the transmitted copies but needs to be extracted and separated from later interpolations through the methods of textual criticism. Based on these presumptions, the author presents all the known manuscripts at the time (1952) containing Njáls Saga, discusses them regarding their origin and textual value and compares the different redactions.
