Halldórr skvaldri (Halldórr Prattler, or Halldór the Talkative) was an Icelandic skald who lived in the first half of the twelfth century. He composed the poem ''Útfarardrápa'' about the feats of Sigurðr Jórsalafari during his voyage to the Holy Land. After Sigurðr's death, he probably served Magnus Barefoot. He is also known to have composed for nine powerful men, including the Swedish jarls Sone Ivarsson (c. 1107), Karl Sonesson (c. 1137) and for the Swedish kings Sverker I of Sweden (c. 1150) and Jon Jarl. In the assessment of Jan de Vries, Halldórr was an able craftsman ('ein gewandter Verseschmied') but lacked poetic genius.〔Jan de Vries, ''Altnordische Literaturgeschichte. Mit einem Vorw. von Stefanie Würth'', 3rd edn in one volume, Grundriss der germanischen Philologie, 15-16 (Berlin: de Gruyter, 1999), I, 292-293. ISBN 3-11-016330-6.〕 ==Biography and works== Halldor was born early enough to compose an elegy for Magnus Barefoot of Norway, who died in 1103, but he also composed one for Inge I of Norway, who died in 1161.〔Åke Ohlmarks, ''Fornnordiskt lexikon'' (Tiden, 1995), s.v. ''Halldor Skvaldre''.〕 According to Snorri Sturluson's ''Skáldatal'', Halldór wrote elegies (in the Skaldic verse forms of the ''drápa'' and ''flokkr'') for:〔Snorri Sturluson, ''Edda Snorra Sturlusonar: Edda Snorronis Sturlaei'', ed. by Jón Sigurðsson et al. 3 vols (Copenhagen: Legatum Arnamagnaeanum, 1848-87; rprt. Osnabrück: Zeller, 1966), III, 252, 254-5, 258, 260, 262-3, 267, 272, 276-7, 283; cf. III, 367-70, cited at http://abdn.ac.uk/skaldic/db.php?id=117&if=default&table=skalds.〕 * Sóni Ívarsson, jarl of Götaland (c. 1100) * Jarl Karl Sónason (c. 1140, Sweden) * King Magnús berfœttr ‘Barelegs’ Óláfsson of Norway (d. 1103) * King Sigurðr jórsalafari ‘Jerusalem-farer’ Magnússon (d. 1130) * King Haraldr gilli(-kristr) ‘Servant (of Christ)’ Magnússon (d. 1136) * King Eiríkr eymuni ‘the Long-remembered’ of Denmark (d. 1137) * King Sørkvir Kolsson of Sweden (c. 1150) * Jarl Jón Sørkvisson (Sweden). * King Ingi Haraldsson of Norway (d. 1161) These poems do not, however, survive. The surviving parts of Halldórr’s corpus are, like most skaldic verse, preserved only as quotations in prose Kings' sagas. These are: * ''Útfararkviða'': one stanza only, in ''fornyrðislag'', on Sigurðr Jórsalafari’s expedition to Palestine and Byzantium around 1108-11, preserved in ''Magnússona saga'', ''Heimskringla'', and ''Hulda-Hrokkinskinna''. There has been some debate about the attribution to Halldórr. The name ''Útfararkviða'' was given by the modern editor Finnur Jónsson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=skaldic project )〕 * ''Útfaradrápa'': an account of Sigurðr jórsalafari’s expedition to the Mediterranean basin. These stanzas have been identified with the poem which, according to ''Sverris saga'', a skald called Máni 'kvað síðan Útfarardrápuna er Halldórr skvaldri orti um Sigurð konung Jórsalafara, móðurfǫður Magnús konungs' ('later recited the ''Útfarardrápa'' which Halldórr skvaldri composed about King Sigurðr Jórsalafari, the maternal grandfather of King Magnus') to Magnus V of Norway in 1184.〔''Sverris saga'', ed. by Þorleifur Hauksson, Íslensk fornrit, 30 (Reykjavík: Hið Íslenzka Fornritafélagið, 2007), p. 130.〕 The poem survives in varying degrees through quotation in ''Fagrskinna'', ''Magnússona saga'', ''Heimskringla'', ''Morkinskinna'', the ''Third Grammatical Treatise'', and ''Hulda-Hrokkinskinna''. * ''Haraldsdrápa'' records King Haraldr gilli(-kristr)'s campaigns against his nephew Magnús inn blindi Sigurðarson in 1134-1135, apparently predating Haraldr's death in 1136. The poem survives in varying degrees in quotations in ''Codex Frisianus'', ''Fagrskinna'', ''Hulda-Hrokkinskinna'', ''Heimskringla'', ''Magnúss saga blinda og Haralds gilla'', and ''Morkinskinna''. The title was coined by modern editors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=skaldic project )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Halldórr skvaldri」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
