This Latin text, Saxo Grammaticus: Quid Et Quo Modo Ad Gesta Danorum Conficienda Ex Carminibus Patrio Sermone Traditis Hauserit, explores the methods and sources used by Saxo Grammaticus in compiling his monumental work, the Gesta Danorum (Deeds of the Danes). The study examines how Saxo Grammaticus drew upon traditional songs and vernacular narratives to construct his comprehensive history of Denmark. It is a valuable resource for scholars interested in medieval historiography, the use of oral traditions in historical writing, and the literary sources of the Gesta Danorum. Pineau, L., the author, delves into the intricate process by which Saxo transformed poetic accounts into a cohesive historical narrative, offering insights into the cultural and literary context of twelfth-century Denmark.
