Welcome to the Saga Club webpage :) The Saga Club is the longest-standing reading group at Berkeley, dating from the early fifties. How does it work? We meet once a month. Each member is assigned a short passage for translation, which is read at the meeting. We have read through Njáls saga four times, done our bit to keep Hi íslenska fornritafélag in business, and consumed untold quantities of wine, cheese and herring. The group has close ties to the Scandinavian Department at U.C. Berkeley, but membership also includes many persons too practical to spend their real lives reading sagas.

NEW! We have a box in the office. More accurately, it's a gray folder on top of the usual boxes, which says "Scandinavian pickup". The text will miraculously appear there sometime before the meeting.

Please contact the saga club secretary (Renee) with comments & suggestions, or if you wish to join us. Link donation continues- so please send your favorite links on Medieval Scandinavian topics !

Next meeting will happen on Wednesday, 17th of April, at the house of Keelan Evans. Details to follow!

The Norroen Tekster Forn-Sed website is being renovated, so no e-texts this time. The photocopies will be available at the office both in the gray box (labeled Scandi Pickup) and in my box (Perelmutter).
