STJÓRN (i.e. "a steering"): a Biblical Paraphrase of the historical books of the Old Testament, in Icelandic. Begun by order of Hakon V., King of Norway, circ. 1300, but completed, from Exodus, ch. xx. onwards, by adopting the earlier Gyðinga Sögur ("Sagas of the Jews") of Brand Jónsson, Bishop of Holar (ob. 1264): see Gudbrand Vigfusson, Sturlunga Saga, Oxford, 1878, Prolegomena, p. cxxxv.

The whole was edited by Carl Unger, Christiania, 1862. Paper; ff. 376. An XVIIIth cent. transcript of a MS. in the library of the University of Copenhagen. Folio.
