3. Group D: Vinaspegill

Group D includes the adaptations of the Vaticinium and Amici story into the poem Vinaspegill. The earliest extant manuscript was written between 1738-1758; others between 1700-1900 - the latest manuscript being from as late as 1925. Most of those that we know of were written in the 19^th century which coincides with the time Vinaspegill got printed. Seelow mentions three prints, the earliest of them printed in Reykjavík in 1845 (Kvæðið Vina-Spegill, orkt af Guðmundi Bergþóssyni, Rekjavík 1845). According to this print, the poem consists of 113 stanzas and the text is close to its prose source (see Seelow 1989: 216). The other prints are:

• Vinaspegill og Tólfsona-kvæði. Söguljóð ort af Guðmundi Bergþóssyni, Reykjavík 1904.
• Vinaspegill, tólfsona-kvæði og annáls-kvæði. Söguljóð, Reykjavík 1909.
