Vellekla (Old Norse "shortage of gold"〔"(Einar Helgason Skålaglam )" in ''Store norske leksikon''.〕) is a partially preserved drápa composed in the late 10th century〔Finnur Jónsson dates it to 986.〕 by the Icelandic skald Einarr Helgason skálaglamm. It is one of the two drápas he made for Hákon jarl. It speaks of the battle of Hjörungavágr and Hákon's campaign in Denmark, among other things.〔〔"(Einarr Helgason Skálaglamm )" in ''Nordisk Familjebok''.〕 == Structure and preservation == Vellekla is not preserved as a complete poem in any manuscript but individual verses and sequences of verses are preserved as quotations in several prose works. Various verses attributed to Einarr Skálaglamm but not ascribed to a particular poem have also been taken by scholars to be a part of Vellekla. As reconstructed by Finnur Jónsson, most of the central narrative content of the poem is preserved in the kings' sagas; Fagrskinna, Heimskringla, Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta and Flateyjarbók. Finnur believed that verses preserved in Skáldskaparmál, where Hákon is directly addressed, belong to the beginning and end of the poem. Two lines are also preserved in the Third Grammatical Treatise. In Finnur's reconstruction, the total number of verses is 37, of which 16 are half-verses and 21 are complete verses.〔Finnur Jónsson (1920:533–34).〕〔Eysteinn Björnsson.〕 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「Vellekla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
