Five fragments of his work have come down to us. One stanza is preserved in the "Fourth Grammatical Treatise". Three half-stanzas and a couplet are quoted in
Snorri Sturluson 's "Skáldskaparmál " (52) and are generally considered to belong to a poem addressed to Christ ("Kristsdrápa"), for they appear among the "kenning s" for Christ.Références
