This hardbound Codex Regius (Konungsbok) is specifically designed to be close to what you might find if you were to be directly working with the original sources. It uses the Old Norse script so that you can immerse yourself into the text, and even learn Old Norse as you go. Like most Medieval texts, there is no single artifact of truth. The oldest copies are found in fragments in museums across the world. In addition, this text evolved through many forms to that which you see common today. What you have here is a rich experience of the meaning of the original Codex Regius, uncluttered by todays formatting and extensions, from which you can derive your own analyses.
