Melkólfs saga ok Solomons konungs
Melkólfs saga ok Solomons konungs ('the saga of Melkólfur and King Solomon'), whose protagonists are also known as Markólfur and Salomon, is a medieval Icelandic romance-saga. While not straightforwardly a translation, it clearly builds on Continental material, specifically the Dialogus Salomonis et Marcolfi.[1][2]
The earliest manuscript, AM 696 4to III, fol. 1, is a fragment dating from around 1400. The saga was also found in Stockholm, NKS 331 8vo.[3]
