Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the recently published new Bulgarian translation of the Eddic poem Hávamál by Yana Chankova and Ægir Sverrisson. The authors of the translation have faced a number of challenges regarding the grammar and semantics of the Old Icelandic text as well as its alliterative verse. The paper analyses briefly the above mentioned difficulties in rendering the Old Icelandic text into contemporary Bulgarian and concludes that on the whole the authors have dealt successfully with each one of them.
