He translated both of the Eddas from Old Norse into High German and provided an extensive commentary. These works are among the most important German translations of the Eddas to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume contains book II of Gorsleben's translations from the Prose Edda and Sagas, as well as book III of his complete translation of the Poetic Edda. The former comprises the Gylfaginning, Bragar ður and Skáldskaparmál, Nornagests  áttr, and the Volsunga Saga, while the latter consists of selections from the Hávamál, Hyndluljóð, Grímnismál, Völuspá, and Sigrdrífumál.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a re-translation from High German into English, the main value of this work is in the original translator's Armanist perspective, and his inclusion of sources like the Volsung and Nornagest material from outside of the Eddic canon. It is intended for readers who have some familiarity with the Eddas, and is by no means an authoritative or literal translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rudolf John Gorsleben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1996915142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781996915141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tradition Publishing Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Rudolf John Gorsleben","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997883543807,"sku":"9781996915141","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eddas-rudolf-john-gorsleben-9781996915141","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
