Note 15 — The Short Lay of Sigurth

Henry Adams Bellows translation

After “Buthli” in line 2 the manuscript has “my brother,” apparently a scribal error. In line 4 the manuscript has “wealth” instead of “love,” apparently with stanza 10 in mind, but the Volsungasaga paraphrase has “love,” and many editors have suspected an error.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
