== Translations == {{wikisource|Prose Edda}} The ''Prose Edda'' has been the subject of numerous translations. The most recent ones into English have been by [[Jesse Byock]] (2006), Anthony Faulkes (1987 / 2nd ed. 1995), Jean Young (1954), and [[Arthur Gilchrist Brodeur]] (1916). Many of these translations are abridged; the technical nature of the ''Háttatal'' means it is frequently excluded, and the ''Skáldskaparmál'' often has its more Old Norse thesaurus aspects abridged as well.<ref>Byock 2006: Notes on the Translation</ref><ref>Hopkins 2019</ref> '''Translations into English''' * {{cite book | translator-last = Dasent | translator-first = George Webbe |translator-link=George Webbe Dasent | title = The Prose or Younger Edda commonly ascribed to Snorri Sturluson | url = https://archive.org/details/Theproseoryounge000365777v0SnorReyk | year = 1842 | publisher = Norstedt and Sons }} * {{cite book | translator-last = Anderson | translator-first = Rasmus B. | translator-link = Rasmus B.
