Handbook of Old Norse Philology
The Handbook of Old Norse Philology presents Old Norse language and literature in a concise format, but it can hardly be said to be lightweight: the second edition of the book has 800 pages! The book comes out of a national collaborative project, but has a firm footing in the Bergen community.
