In Scott’s medieval tale The Lay of the Last Minstrel (1805), he shows interest in investigating the “customs and manners which anciently prevailed on the Borders of England and Scotland”. Scott held Jamieson in high esteem for his discovery of the kinship between Scandinavian and Scottish stories: “a circumstance, which no antiquary had hitherto so much as suspected”. This was an anthology co-edited with Henry Weber and Robert Jamieson, containing translations of “Metrical Tales, from the Old German, Danish, Swedish, and Icelandic Languages”. The project as a whole was abandoned, but it did result in a paraphrase of Eyrbyggja saga (about events in the late 10 th and early 11 th centuries), which Scott contributed to the collection Illustrations of Northern Antiquities (1814). Already in 1801, he considered bringing out “something of an abridgement of the most celebrated Sagas, selecting the most picturesque Incidents & translating the Runic Rhymes”. Scott’s library at Abbotsford, Scottish Borders, contained over a hundred works relating to ancient Icelandic poetry. Scott had a profound and long-standing interest in Norse literature. Walter Scott, novelist, poet and antiquarian, is best known for his narrative poem The Lady of the Lake (1810), as well as the historical novels Waverley (1814), Rob Roy (1817), and Ivanhoe (1819).
