Description

"Edda" is an Old Norse term that has been attributed by modern scholars to the collective of two Medieval Icelandic literary works: what is now known as the Prose Edda and an older collection of poems without an original title now known as the Poetic Edda. The term historically referred only to the Prose Edda, but this since has fallen out of use because of the confusion with the other work. Both works were written down in Iceland during the 13th century in Icelandic, although they contain material from earlier traditional sources, reaching into the Viking Age.

Codex Regius was written during the 13th century, but nothing was known of its whereabouts until 1643, when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt. At the time, versions of the Edda were known in Iceland, but scholars speculated that there once was another Edda, an Elder Edda, which contained the pagan poems that Snorri quotes in his Edda. When Codex Regius was discovered, it seemed that the speculation had proved correct, but modern scholarly research has shown that the Edda was likely written first and that the two were, at most, connected by a common source.

Historical Significance

The Codex Regius, written in the 13th century, became a key manuscript for the Poetic Edda. Its whereabouts were unknown until 1643, when Brynjólfur Sveinsson, Bishop of Skálholt, acquired it. Prior to its discovery, scholars speculated about the existence of an older Edda containing pagan poems quoted by Snorri. Modern research suggests that the Edda likely originated first, and the two works share a common source rather than one directly depending on the other.

Comments on Elder Eddas for Android

★★★★★ Johanne Qont · Dec 12, 2021

Great read! Looking to find more on Hel, niflheim and the valkyrie. If you have anything on these subjects I would be greatly appreciative!

★★★★★ Mark Ventimiglia · Dec 3, 2023

This is a great app for anyone interested in the mythology of the North. In fact, I think it might be the only app of its kind. I have looked for other apps containing the Edda, but have not found them yet. So while this might not be perfect, it still rates as #1 by default.

It's garbage! For a book of poems It's surprisingly hard to navigate. After a few lines you click a link to get the next few lines, and it only has the Völuspá and part of Hávamál what happens to other app that had the whole thing?
