Passio Olavi, more correctly Passio a miracule beati Olavi (The Passion and miracles of the Blessed Olaf) is a collection of
legends about the
Norwegian national
saintOlaf II the Holy. The text was probably collected while
Eysteinn Erlendsson was
Archbishop of
Nidaros (1159-1188), and is possibly written by Eysteinn himself.
Egil Kraggerud dated the Passio Olavi to ca. 1150–1160.[1]
