Book desription: Oslo: H. Aschehoug & Co. (W. Nygaard), 1951 Each article is paginated separately (1-57; 1-55; 1-119). This is the second part (of 2 parts) of Vol. II. Contents include the following three papers: #5) "On the sources of the Asmundarsaga kappabana" (by E. F. Halvorsen). The "Asmundarsaga kappabana" saga has been of particular interest to medievalist scholars because it is a Norse version of the Hildebrand legend. This article provides a comparative study with other fornaldarsagas. #6) "Studies in the Gisla saga" (by Anne Holtsmark). This saga has been important in discussions regarding the origins and nature of Icelandic sagas. The aim of this article is "to lay bare the different strata in the tradition of the Surdoelir family in Norway" before its emigration to Iceland on the basis of the first three chapters of the Gisla saga. #7) "Studies towards a theory of sociological transformations" (by Sverre Holm). This article provides a general methodological and conceptual study of the anthropological concept of "type" in relation to "structure." The objective of the discussions is to formulate a preliminary theory of social transformation. CONDITION: Side and bottom edges of oversized card covers are lightly chipped.
