Eddukvæði
Poetic Edda
This collection of eddic poems was compiled by an anonymous scholar in
Iceland in the twelfth century. It was for a time mistakenly attributed
to a scholar named Sæmundr hinn fróði (1056–1133) and thus was known as
Sæmundar Edda.
Völuspá (non.)
Prophecy of the Seeress (en.)
One of the mythological poems in the Poetic Edda. A Völva, or seeress,
recites the history of the world to Óðinn. She then goes on to
prophesize the destruction of the world at the Battle of Ragnarok and
its rebirth after the battle. Völuspá is preserved in the late
thirteenth-century Codex Regius manuscript, a.k.a. GKS 2365 4º, and in
the fourteenth-century Hauksbók manuscripts, i.e., AM 371 4to, AM 544
4to and AM 675 4to.
