- 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.

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.
