Philpotts, B. S. Edda and saga, 1931: page 7 (Edda covers not only the collection of poems known as the Elder or Poetic Edda, but also Snorri's Younger or Prose Edda, that manual for poets which re-arranges and interprets much of the ancient lore contained in the Poetic Edda and in some Eddic poems which are now lost) page 231 (To write a guide to skaldic poetry which would necessarily also be a kind of Who's who to heathen personages is what Snorri Sturluson set himself to do in his Prose Edda. What he really does is to re-create the thoughts and ideas of the past as vividly as he had portrayed the march of events and the characters of men in his Heimskringla)
Wikipedia (English), March 28, 2014 (The Prose Edda, also known as the Younger Edda, Snorri's Edda (Icelandic: Snorra Edda) or simply Edda, is an Old Norse compilation made in Iceland in the early 13th century. Together with the Poetic Edda, it comprises the major store of pagan Scandinavian mythology. The work is often assumed to have been written, or at least compiled, by the Icelandic scholar and historian Snorri Sturluson around the year 1220)
