FOREWORD
This index largely follows the pattern of my two previous indexes, with theaddition of a subject index, covering both articles and reviews, together
with a slight rearrangement of the order of the material in the index. A
further innovation is the provision of a section of ‘addenda’, covering
reviews from v. 22:1, which I either overlooked or lost during thecompilation. In the articles and reviews sections, I have ignored any later
ennoblements or knighthoods conferred on the authors and have enteredthem in the form of name under which they wrote the articles/books.
Married women who wrote both under their marital and maiden names I
have entered under their married names in the articles index, with suitablecross-references; but, in the reviews index, I have entered them under theform of name that appeared on the title-pages of the books concerned, thisindex being a finding-list only. In this section, the citations have largely
been kept to their simplest forms, sufficient to enable the reader to identify
the works concerned. I should add that, in the reviews section, ‘ed.’ and ‘tr.’
are abbreviations of ‘edited’ and ‘translated’, respectively, and not of‘editor’ and ‘translator’.

BOOK REVIEWS
Reviews were not contained in the first two volumes of Saga-Book, but were
included as a regular feature in v. 3–5, after which they were transferred to the Year
Book. When that ceased publication in 1932, regular book reviews returned to
Saga-Book.
Anonymous texts are usually entered under their editors or translators, as in myprevious indexes. Icelanders, where relevant, are entered under their forenames, asin the author index.

ADDENDA
Somehow, the reviews that were contained in v. 22:1 have disappeared from theindex. I did not discover this until the complete text had been entered on the disc,so, had I inserted them in their correct places, it would have meant an enormous
amount of revision, especially in the subject index. I have, therefore, decided toplace them in a separate ‘addenda’ section, with apologies for the oversight. As theentries all refer to the same volume, I have abbreviated the references to a statementof the pagination only.

OBITUARIES
Early obituaries were largely unsigned, though now it is the practice for them to besigned. I have added the name of the obituarist, in round brackets, where given.
Obituaries were transferred to the Year Book, when that was launched in 1909.
Full notices, however, were provided in v. 1–5 (1909–13) only. Subsequent
volumes (6–24) contained simple death lists. Normal service was resumed in SagaBook when the Year Book ceased publication in 1932.

Full subject indexes were published for v. 1–8 only, when they wereabandoned in favour of simple contents lists. Indexes to v. 1–2 were boundin with v. 3, pt 1, and to v. 3 with v. 4, pt 2. The remainder were issued loose.
A cumulative index to v. 1–14 was issued as a supplement to v. 14 and anindex to v. 1–16 was issued separately.

CONVERSIONIn this index I have abbreviated the references to a simple statement of volume
number followed by pagination. For those who wish to round these references out
into a fuller form, and who do not wish to do this by consulting the original volumes,
I append herewith a conversion table, which breaks each volume down into partsand publication dates. To do this I have added to each volume number the dates ofpublication, followed by the number of parts (in round brackets) and a breakdownof the parts into page numbers. For the most part, it should be borne in mind thateach part was normally issued annually. Thus, the three parts of v. 1 were issued
in 1895, 1896 and 1897 respectively, and the reference for Collingwood’s article
on the Vikings in Lakeland, cited, in the index, as 1:182–96, converts, in its fuller
form, to I 2 (1896), 182–96. However, there are complications (this is the SagaBook, after all). Double numbers could cause confusion, so I have marked thesewith an asterisk (*). Thus, v. 17, for instance, breaks down into pts 1, 2–3 and 4.

Nor were parts always issued annually; v. 22–23 were both issued in seven parts,
some annually and some biennially; and some earlier volumes were rather erratic
in their datings. I have added notes after the main conversion table to explain these.
Where two dates are given (e. g. for v. 13), these are the dates that are on the titlepage. Double numbers would also carry two dates. Thus, pts 2–3 of v. 16 were dated
1963/64.
