Genzmer's Edda Translation

[Rebing@t-online.de (Rebing)]

For the benefit of Bertil's project to look into the origin of "Stahlgewitter" I 
should add that Felix Genzmer (1878-1959), who was, by the way, a law professor 
in Marburg and Tübingen, first published his Edda translation together with the 
famous Germanist and specialist in Germanic literatures and prosody, Andreas 
Heusler, in two volumes in 1912 and 1917. To be sure, Genzmer's Edda became 
popular only later (after EJ had given his first book its famous title) when 
Diederichs published it in the Thule edition. But EJ, the avid reader book 
collector and reader, could have taken notice of the first edition even in times 
of war.
