Prose or Younger Edda Commonly Ascribed to Snorri Sturluson e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The short work now for the first time, it is believed, laid before the English reader, forms in the original the first part of a collection published by Prof. Rask. at Stockholm in 1818, under the following title. Snorra-Edda asamt Skaldu og parmed fylgjandi Rit-gjoroum. Snorri's Edda together with the Skalda and the Treatises thereto belonging. It was the opinion of that great Philologist that this collection grew together in the family of Snorri Sturluson, the work of several hands at different times; and the Translator has not scrupled to separate writings, which have scarcely any other connection than the fact of their being found following one another in the same MS. At some other time he looks forward to stating his convictions on this matter, and his reasons for them, at greater length; but for the present he must content himself with saying, that his opinion is in the main the same as that mentioned above as expressed by Prof. Rask.
