I cannot wait for there to be OLB study groups and scholars to discuss these disparities, when eventually the book hits the mainstream.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028732101204408664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667768851625095395.post-67198679750821688022021-04-20T07:10:34.587+02:002021-04-20T07:10:34.587+02:00Good point.

For example, Adela advised to copy all (relevant) texts from the burgs, her counsel was taken and yet her daughter Apollania later added the 'Primal Teachings' (FORM.LÉRE; texts about Wralda), wondering why they had been left out.Jan Otthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825110012075842280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667768851625095395.post-41907471037621520452021-04-20T06:42:12.200+02:002021-04-20T06:42:12.200+02:00There is a somewhat incongruent line I found in mo...There is a somewhat incongruent line I found in most English editions of the OLB I read, and I am wondering how you will deal with it in your new translation.<br /><br />We know the Fryas believed in the occult, as Minnos was a seer, and Kalta a witch, so it is confirmed they had a belief in sorcerery/witchcraft. We also know from a line later in the book (I forgot where exactly) they believed that wicked souls would 'haunt the earth' after death, so they also believed in 'evil spirits'. Despite all of this, in Frethorik's writings we hear him denounce the (Scandinavians?), he states "They believe in bad spirits, sorcerers, witches, dwarves, and elves as if they descended from the fins"<br /><br />I think a better word for 'believe' would be worship, because we know the Fryas would have also believed in sorcery and bad spirits, however they didn't worship sorcerers and spirits, like the fins would've. Changing 'belief' to worship makes a lot more sense to the reader, and makes more sense of the general religious worldview of the fryas, however I am wondering if changing it would maintain the translation's integrity.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11028732101204408664noreply@blogger.com
