The creation of such a journal was discussed at the 1881 convention on Nordic philology, and it began publication in Christiania (now Oslo) in 1882[1][2] (volume 1, 1882/83) under the editorship of Gustav Storm, as Arkiv för nordisk filologi. It was the first journal devoted entirely to the field of Old Norse studies.[3] With the fifth volume, dated 1889, it began a new series, with subsequent issues bearing two volume numbers, and moved to Lund, where it was edited by Axel Kock,[3][4] and the spelling was changed to the Swedish för.[5][6]
The journal is now published with assistance from the Axel Kocks fond för nordisk filologi. It has appeared annually since 1966; prior to that it published quarterly.[5] It publishes an annual review of new publications in Scandinavian language studies,[7] Litteraturkrönika; from 1886 to 1948, there was a complete listing, published annually at first, then every three years.[8]
