Very good. 1967. Sixth printing. 266 [1] pp. Octavo. Original maroon cloth with gilt spine lettering and gilt ship device on the upper board. Light rubbing to cloth, mild shelf wear to corners and spine ends; page edges lightly toned; writing on the front flyleaf in black ink, and back endpapers in red ink from the previous owner; binding tight and square. No dust jacket (as issued). A complete English translation of the Prose Edda, the foundational medieval Icelandic handbook of Norse mythology and skaldic poetics, by Snorri Sturluson. Translated from the Icelandic with an introduction by Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur, this edition was first published in 1916 and quickly became the standard English-language version for scholars and general readers alike. Issued here as part of the Scandinavian Classics series of the American-Scandinavian Foundation, this sixth printing reflects the continued importance and long-term demand for Brodeur's authoritative translation. .
