Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar of Oddr Snorrason is a Latin royal biography attributed to a 12th century Icelandic Benedictine monk at the Þingeyrar monastery, whose name is also sometimes Anglicized as Odd Snorrason. Its subject is the 10th century Norwegian king Óláfr Tryggvason. The original work has been almost completely lost but a translation into Old Norse is preserved in two nearly complete versions and a fragment of a third. The work is often referred to as Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar. Oddr made use of previous written works including those of Sæmundr fróði and Ari Þorgilsson as well as Acta sanctorum in Selio and possibly Historia de Antiquitate Regum Norwagiensium.In turn Snorri Sturluson made use of Oddr''s work when writing the Heimskringla, as did the author of Óláfs saga Tryggvasonar en mesta. It is difficult to tell how closely the Old Norse translation of Oddr''s Óláfs saga resembles the Latin original but it clearly owes a debt to hagiography, presenting King Óláfr as the apostle to the Norwegians.
