The Orkneyinga Saga and Magnus Saga with Appendices is a book written by Gudbrand Vigfusson in 1887. The book is a compilation of two sagas from medieval Iceland, the Orkneyinga Saga and Magnus Saga, which recount the history of the Orkney Islands and the life of Magnus Erlendsson, the Earl of Orkney. The Orkneyinga Saga is a historical narrative that tells the story of the Norse Earls of Orkney from the 9th century to the 13th century, including their conflicts with the Scottish kings and their involvement in the Viking raids. The Magnus Saga is a hagiography that tells the story of Magnus Erlendsson, a Norwegian prince who became the Earl of Orkney and was later canonized as a saint. The book also includes appendices that provide additional historical and cultural context for the sagas, including a glossary of Old Norse terms, genealogies of the Norse Earls of Orkney, and a discussion of the historical accuracy of the sagas. Overall, the Orkneyinga Saga and Magnus Saga with Appendices is a valuable resource for historians, scholars of Old Norse literature, and anyone interested in the history and culture of medieval Iceland and the Orkney Islands.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
