context_page_description: Nokre salmar was the first Nynorsk hymnal. It was published anonymously by Elias Blix. The volume was first issued as smaller booklets, with the first in 1869, and then in 1870 and 1875, and then in an expanded version in 1883 published by Det Norske Samlaget. On March 4, 1892 Nokre Salmar was authorized for use in public worship, and these Landsmål hymns were then incorporated into Landstad's hymnal as nos. 635 to 791.
  In 1908, the Liturgical Readings and Agenda for the Church of Norway in Peter Hognestad's translation was authorized for public use. In addition, the litany and pulpit hymns were also authorized, and in later editions these were added in what was known as the "Blix Supplement" as nos. 785 to 791.
  The first churches to adopt Blix's hymnal were Ranem Church and Skage Church in the parish of Namdal in the municipality of Overhalla in 1892. By 1901, 76 parishes had done so, and this number grew to 266 by 1914 and to over 500 by 1926. In many places there were disagreements about the Blix Supplement. An 1892 resolution created a basis for many parishes to not use the Blix Supplement.

An 1892 resolution created a basis for many parishes to not use the Blix Supplement. In 1926, a royal resolution was adopted that those using Hauge's and Landstad's hymnals should also use the hymns in Nokre salmar. However, by that time Landstad's revised hymnal and the Nynorsk hymnal had already been adopted.
