The Galdrabók

Description

This is a new translation and edition of the book of Icelandic magic first
published by Samuel Weiser in 1989. The book has been out of print for several
years, and this second edition includes a completely revised translation and
the explanatory notes have been doubled. The text consists of a substantial
topical introduction that covers the history, theory and practice of magic in
Iceland in the medieval and early modern periods. This is followed by the
translation of the Galdrabók itself with copious explanatory notes. There are
also a number of appendices which contain magical material from other
Icelandic books of magic as well as spells from other Germanic areas. Read
