Jómsvíkinga saga. Ólafur Halldórsson prepared the printing and wrote the introduction.
The Jómsvíkinga saga is an Icelandic ancient saga that tells of the Vikings who founded the fortress of Jómsborg, and arrived there in a brotherhood of soldiers who were called Jómsvíkingar.
The Jómsvíkingasaga was composed in Iceland around 1200 and exists in several manuscripts, which are quite different from each other, and their relationship has puzzled scholars. It is generally said that there are five versions of the saga.
The saga is most often printed from the oldest manuscript, AM 291 4to. Flateyjarbók has a closely related text. The manuscripts AM 510 4to, and Sthlm. perg. 4to no. 7 differ in some respects, and the same can be said of the Latin translation that Arngrímur lærði made from a manuscript that is now lost. Jómsvíkinga saga was also used in Óláfrs ság Tryggvasonar by Odd the monk and Óláfrs ság Tryggvasonar hinni meði. All these versions can be traced to the same original text.
