Edycje sag skandynawskich w Polsce – analiza repertuaru wydawniczego
Editions of the Scandinavian sagas in Poland – The analysis of the press offer

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the Old Scandinavian literature, especially Scandinavian sagas (the Polish translations published in traditional form and studies of old Scandinavian literature, with the exception of electronic translations and fragments of works) and analyses the works with regard to their publishers. The main objective of the article is to present the history of Scandinavian literature in Poland. Applying bibliographic method and literature analysis criticism as well as statistical analysis, the authors have examined and analysed the offer of Polish publishing houses offering Old Scandinavian literature since the 19th century, including publishing series on sagas such as “Seria Dzieł Pisarzy Skandynawskich” [Series of Works by Scandinavian Writers] of Poznań Publishing House or “Materiały o Islandii” [Materials on Iceland] of Towarzystwo Przyjaźni Polsko-Islandzkiej [Society of Polish-Icelandic Friendship]. As it has been established, more than one hundred years have passes since the first publishing records from the beginning of the 19th century to subsequent publishing initiatives.
