WE PRESENT: digitalized Nordiske Folks Overtroe, Guder, Fabler og Helte By Jacob Bærent Møinichen, 1800. In the year 1800, Jacob Bærent Møinichen published this almost 500-page reference work on the mythology and legendary history of the Nordic peoples. With its 1000 entries, the author not only covers all the Old Norse gods and mythological beings but also many of the legendary kings, heroes, and villains that appear in Saxo's Chronicle. The work provides a good impression of how far mythologists during the national romanticism period were willing to go to make all the pieces fit together - even if it resulted in four Odins and three Thor figures. Several of the entries contain curious information and entertaining comments.	WE PRESENT: on print Nordisk gudelære med uddrag af Eddaerne By Carl Arnold Edwin Jessen In Nordisk gudelære med uddrag af Eddaerne, linguist Edwin Jessen (1833-1921) first provides a concise and comprehensive overview of the key concepts in Old Norse mythology and a brief introduction to the source texts. This is followed by his translation of several central narratives from Snorri's Edda. Lastly, the book's third and final part consists of Jessen's translation of twelve mythological poems from the Poetic Edda. A fine introduction to Old Norse mythology based on the source texts. – Read more about the book here or order it through Heimskringla Reprint.
