Vǫluspá

I am sharing with you another joyful event! Just the day before yesterday, a friend who lives in Sneland sent me a book.

The entire Poetic Edda. In original. With an impressive preface and comments (in Sneland, but these are minor things). In short, I haven’t let it out of my hands for two days now =D

The text has been adjusted to modern Sneland spelling (for the convenience of modern readers), so it should not be read exactly as it is written. I tried to read aloud the first four verses with reconstructed 10th century pronunciation - it didn’t seem to work.
