This is an unabridged and unaltered republication of a translation that was published in two separate editions. The first edition is an edition published by the Norroena Society in 1907, as The Elder Edda of Saemond Sigfusson, and the Younger Edda of Snorre Sturleson. This edition also included a translation of the Prose Edda, translated by I. A. Blackwell, which is not included here. We no longer have access to the text of the second edition, which is most likely from Thorpe’s 1866 publication, Edda Sæmundar hinns Frôða. The texts from the two editions are virtually the same except for a few key points. The 1907 edition includes footnotes (which have been reproduced here). The 1866 edition includes three lays that did not appear in the 1907 edition: Hrafnagaldr Odins, Gunnars Slagr and Gröttasóngr. All three are included here. Every effort has been taken to reproduce this translation as accurately as possible.
