Edda SÃ]mundar Hinns FrÃ3ða, also known as the Poetic Edda or Elder Edda, is a collection of Old Norse poems primarily preserved in the Icelandic medieval manuscript Codex Regius. This edition, edited by Gunnar Pálsson, presents these foundational texts of Norse mythology and heroic legend in their original Icelandic. The Edda contains mythological poems recounting the creation of the world, the lives and deeds of the gods, and the prophesied events of Ragnarök, the end of the world. It also includes heroic lays centered on legendary figures such as Sigurðr (Siegfried) and the Volsung family. These poems offer invaluable insights into the pre-Christian beliefs, values, and worldview of the Scandinavian peoples. SÃ]mundr frÃ3ði (SÃ]mundr the Learned) is traditionally credited with collecting these poems, though modern scholarship suggests the collection was compiled later. This edition is an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in Old Norse language, literature, and mythology. It preserves a vital part of Iceland's literary heritage.
