Abstract
In the text therewith published I have aimed to offer what, in my opinion, was the original form of this very popular Faroese ballad. My text is based on a study of verified copies of all the versions and the later gathered variants of the versions. The investigation was originally undertaken many years ago, upon the invitation of Professoer Axel Olrik of the University of Copenhagen, and the verified copies of the versions and of the variants were furnished me by him, wih the assurance of their absolute correctness. In the great eighteen-volume hand-written collection of Faroese ballads by Svend Grundvig and Jørgen Bloch the ballad of "Ellindur bóndi" appears as no. 45 in Volume IV.
