Magnússona saga (the saga of the sons of Magnús) is part of Heimskringla, which Snorri Sturluson wrote probably in the 1220s or early 1230s. It is also called Saga Sigurðar, Eysteins ok Ólafs (the saga of Sigurðr, Eysteinn and Olaf) There are numerous manuscripts of Heimskringla, most incomplete, going back to c. 1270. The manuscripts and their relationships are described in the introduction to the standard edition in the Íslenzk fornrit (ÍF) series: Heimskringla, edited by Bjarni Aðalbjarnarson, 3 vols (ÍF 268), Reykjavík: Hið íslenzka fornritafélag, 1941-1951. This passage is on p. 259 of vol. 2. The text of the saga (in modern Icelandic spelling) is online at snerpa.is and (in Finnur Jónsson's Old Norse edition under the title "Upphaf Magnús-sona") heimskringla.no.
There are many translations of Heimskringla, but not all of them include Magnússona saga. The English one completed in 2015 by Alison Finlay and Anthony Faulkes, which does, is available online from the Viking Society for Northern Research. This passage is in vol. 3 on p. 158. |
