The Gutasaga is believed to have been written in the 13th century, and makes up most of what we know about Old Gutnish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is particularly interesting about the Gutasaga is that it preserves a variety of Old Norse known as Old Gutnish. This variety of Old Norse is believed to have evolved in the 7th century along with Old East Norse and Old West Norse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe meaning of the word 'saga' (plural: 'sǫgur' or 'sögur') translates as 'that which is said', or more widely: a 'saying', 'statement', 'story', 'tale', or 'narrative'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text is presented in its original Norse, with a literal word-for-word line-by-line translation, and a Modern English translation, all side-by-side. In this way, it is possible to see and feel how the Norse language worked and how it has evolved. Also included is a word list with 1,112 Norse words translated in to English, and 1,119 English words translated into Norse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is designed to be of use and interest to anyone with a passion for the Old Norse or Old Icelandic language, Norse history, or languages and history in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Leigh Embleton, Anonymous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 54\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.11d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798863546544\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":42974999216243,"sku":"9.79886E+12","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_14cdf51e-d2ae-4498-a88a-c83fe80fd96a.jpg?v=1744198998","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-saga-of-the-gotlanders-original-text-translation-and-word-lists-9798863546544","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
