Scripta Islandica (SI)

The aim of the Scandinavian journal Scripta Islandica is to promote interest in West Nordic matters: primarily Icelandic, but also Faroese and Norwegian as well as matters relating to the Nordic cultures on Greenland, the Orkneys and Shetland. Scripta Islandica’s sphere of interest is West Nordic philology (language and literature) in a broad sense. Articles published in the journal usually address Old West Norse texts (Icelandic, Faroese and Norwegian) and the manuscripts that contain them. However, contributions with a more modern focus are also published. The journal welcomes scholarly contributions on all subjects in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Icelandic, as well as English and German. The range of contributions published in Scripta Islandica is wide. Subjects include textual criticism, history of religion and history of literature. It is thus the empirical basis of the contributions that defines the journal’s focus: Old West Norse texts and manuscripts. Scripta Islandica is distinctly interdisciplinary in a way that is unique in Sweden, and also to a large extent internationally. Readers come from many different fields: Nordic philology and linguistics, history of religion, history and history of literature. The articles are largely aimed at academic researchers in the relevant fields, but they are also well suited to the interested layperson. The first issue of Scripta Islandica was published in 1950, by the then newly founded Icelandic Society in Uppsala. The society was formed in connection with a visit to Uppsala by prof. Einar Ólafur Sveinsson, the famous saga researcher. The first issue consisted of his essay on Njál’s saga.
