N2 - This 'minigraph' places the several-hundred-strong mediaeval Gaelic and Norse-Icelandic saga corpuses alongside each other in order to initiate an exploration of what it is that makes them describable under the same literary term, 'saga'. It analyses how mediaeval scribes conceptualized these narratives in the extant manuscripts and sets this against a detailed study of the wider semantic ranges of the Gaelic term 'scél' and the Norse term 'saga' by which they were referred to, in order to see how these narratives were conceptualized.
