Primary Sources

Fornmanna Sögur: by the Kongelige Nordiske oldsriftselskab in Copenhagen, originally published in the 1830's. In twelve volumes: vol 1, vol 2, vol 3, vol 4, vol 5, vol 6, vol 7, vol 8, vol 9, vol 10, vol 11, and vol 12. Digitized by Google. They've never been fully translated, which is one of the great shames of Old Norse scholarship, as they contain a wealth of variant sagas and other material that contain more "supernatural" elements than the versions that made it into Heimskringla and other published works. These are the version that DuChaillu, Vigfusson, Grimm, and Rydberg used in crafting their superb works. Unfortunately all the volumes don't seem to have been scanned yet; they will be added as they are made available.
