>>since I missed Olafs main feast, i send this note on the

>>University College, London, 2001.
>>In spite of the rather victorian name of the organization,
>>they have published some very useful translations of
>>the earliest scandinavian chronicles, for the most part
>>unknown outside scandinavia. (as you see from teh title
>>of the above volume, you get one of these along with
>>St. Olafs Passio et Miracula.) For those interested,
>>the introduction also provides a good english summary
