Seelow Group C
From The Seven Sages of Rome
In Group C, Hubert Seelow collects the manuscripts that contain verse adaptations in the form of the Icelandic Rímur (literal translation being 'rhymes'). All of them were adapted from prints of the Danish Folkebog or the German Volksbuch. The oldest extant Rímur date back to the 2nd half of the 17th century and were composed by Björn Sturluson who lived from 1559-1621, indicating that his Rímur cycle had to be around at least since the 1st quarter of the 17th century (see Seelow 1989: 214-215); they survived in three manuscripts.
