The ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar'' of Oddr Snorrason whose name is also sometimes Anglicized as Odd Snorrason was a Latin royal biographer attributed to a 12th-century Icelandic Benedictine monk at the Þingeyrar monastery (''Þingeyrarklaustur''). The monastery was founded in 1133 and was the first in Iceland.〔 (''Þingeyrarklaustur'' (Historical Places in Northwest Iceland) )〕 Its subject is the 10th-century Norwegian king Óláfr Tryggvason. The original work has been almost completely lost but a translation into Old Norse is preserved in two nearly complete versions and a fragment of a third. The work is often referred to as ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar''. Oddr made use of previous written works including those of Sæmundr fróði and Ari Þorgilsson as well as ''Acta sanctorum in Selio'' and possibly ''Historia de Antiquitate Regum Norwagiensium''.〔Hoops 2003, p. 66.〕 In turn Snorri Sturluson made use of Oddr's work when writing the ''Heimskringla'', as did the author of ''Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta''. It is difficult to tell how closely the Old Norse translation of Oddr's ''Óláfs saga'' resembles the Latin original but it clearly owes a debt to hagiography, presenting King Óláfr as the apostle to the Norwegians.〔(''Yngvars saga víðförla'' )〕 ''Yngvars saga víðförla'' also credits Oddr with its original authorship. Scholars have been skeptical towards this claim but in recent years it has gained more acceptance.〔Ross 2000, pp. 306-8; Oddr Snorrason 2003, p. 3.〕 == Bibliography == A full bibliography can be found in 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「Oddr Snorrason」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
