Eddan.

Brit.

/ˈɛdə/, U.S.

/ˈɛdə/

Etymology: Old Norse; usually identified with Edda the name of the great-grandmother in the Old Norse poem ‘Rigsþul’ (see Vigfusson and Powell Corpus Poet. Bor. II. 514); others consider it to be < óðr poetry.

The name given to two distinct Icelandic books: (a) by Icelandic poets of 15th cent. applied to a miscellaneous handbook to Icelandic poetry, containing prosodic and grammatical treatises, with quotations and prose paraphrases of myths from old poems (this work (partly written by the Icelandic historian Snorre Sturluson c1230) has since 1642 been commonly called Snorre's Edda, or the Younger or Prose Edda); (b) a collection (made c1200) of ancient Old Norse poems on mythical and traditional subjects (the names ‘Elder or Poetic Edda’, ‘Edda of Sæmund’, were applied to this work by Biorn of Skardsá, who erroneously ascribed its compilation to the Icelandic historian Sæmund, d. 1133).
