Of all the works that tell of the ancient North, these volumes bear away the palm for wisdom and grandeur. Like all the lore which sheds light on the elder faith of the Norsemen, The Eddas were not set down in writing until centuries after the songs and tales they contain first sprang to life. In the meantime, they were borne upon the lips of scalds, recited in hall and field, at Yule feasts and Thing gatherings, shaping the minds of men with the deeds of Gods and heroes, till at last they were gathered and penned by Saemund and Snorre.
This Hamer edition is an unabridged and unaltered reproduction of the Eddas originally published in 1905 by the Norroena Society as part of a collection of books called the “Anglo-Saxon Classics”. Hamer is the Publishing arm of The Irminfolk Odinist Community.
These classic reproduction books published by Hamer are laboriously typeset by volunteers and are not scans from old withdrawn library “cull” books. These are reproduced from the Irminfolk’s original 1905 set of the Norroena Library in order to offer valuable resources to the study of Native European Spirituality.
