Editing medieval manuscripts

Rune Kyrkjebø has worked in the fields of Old Norse textual criticism and palaeography. He wrote his cand.philol-thesis in 1994 at the University of Bergen on the manuscripts of the Bible translation Stjórn, (Ei prøveboring i Stjórn, unpublished). In June 2001, he defended his doctoral thesis Heimskringla I etter Jofraskinna, which comprises an edition and a study of one particular manuscript of the Old Norse kings' sagas. Related to that subject, and to sixteenth century Norwegian humanist translations, is his article "Nokre tekstlege samanfall mellom Jofraskinna og Norske Kongers Chronica", published in Nordica Bergensia 14 (1997).
