A Systematic Re-evaluation of the Sources of Old Norse Astronomy
Christian Etheridge
The field of Old Norse astronomy is in a very fragmented state. There no primary source that describes all the heavenly bodies and constellations known to culture. Instead researcher must go wide variety sources, which sometimes only convey snippets information. These sources range from Eddic poems tales early Icelandic astronomers through linguistic evidence, archaeology folklore. secondary material on these also fragmented, since twentieth century there have been few attempts at an overall grand narrative. In this paper new approach proposed collecting assessing data. By using multi-disciplinary scholarship tripartite model, will show how assessment can be put into practice for twenty-first century.
