Edda
\Ed"da\, n.; pl.
Eddas. [Icel., lit. great-grandmother
(i. e., of Scandinavian poetry), so called by Bishop
Brynj['u]lf Sveinsson, who brought it again to light in
1643.]
The religious or mythological book of the old Scandinavian
tribes of German origin, containing two collections of Sagas
(legends, myths) of the old northern gods and heroes.
[1913 Webster]
Note: There are two Eddas. The older, consisting of 39 poems,
was reduced to writing from oral tradition in Iceland
between 1050 and 1133. The younger or
prose Edda,
called also the
Edda of Snorri, is the work of
several writers, though usually ascribed to Snorri
Sturleson, who was born in 1178.
