Website Watch: Septentrionalia and Sagnanet
Septentrionalia is a not-for-profit re-publisher of out-of-print works on medieval northern Europe, with special emphasis on Old Norse. Their scans, which are generally of very high quality, are available to download for free, and they also make some of them available in tangible book-form, at surprisingly reasonable cost. As some of the most seminal works of Norse scholarship are now out-of-copyright (and have never been replaced), this means that it’s suddenly become much easier to track down, and even to own, Sveinbjörn Egilsson/Finnur Jónsson’s Lexicon Poeticum, or the three-volume Arnamagnæan edition of Snorra Edda, for example. It’s a really great initiative, a very accessible site, and a most impressive labour of love by its creators. Read more »
