Snorri Sturluson wrote quite a few books when he lived (1179-1241), and his works are still well known in this country and abroad. The most famous of them are Heimskringla and Snorra Edda, the latter written in 1220-1230. Plus them he wrote Olaf's saga helga the special and he is also thought to have written Egils saga (Egla), which was written early in the 13th century in Borgarfjoerdur. Egils saga does exist in many scripts from the 13th century, but in 1782 it appeared in print. Olaf's saga helga does exist in a special version and it is also to be found in one of three volumes of Heimskringla, plus other ancient stories of kings.
