mailing list archive - Edda Translations



I just have a feeling the translation by Karl Simrock (1802-1876) might be the
one. He was the pioneer in translating the old germanic and medieval stuff,
Nibelungen, Edda etc.

By the way, eighty thousand Eddas sold by 1940, what a number - doubtfull if
they were all read. Probably the kind of book the sons of party members got
for Christmas.
