This volume presents two Old Norse poems from the Poetic Edda, "Vielgewandts Spr che" (Fi lsvinnsm l) and "Groa's Zaubersang" (Gr ugaldr), in German translation. Friedrich Wilhelm Bergmann, a noted scholar of Scandinavian languages and literature, provides both the edited text and the translation, making these important works of Norse mythology accessible to a German-speaking audience. These poems offer valuable insights into the beliefs, customs, and worldview of the Viking age. "Vielgewandts Spr che" tells of the hero Vi lsvinn and his encounters, while "Groa's Zaubersang" features the powerful magic of the v lva Gr a. This edition, originally published in 1873, remains a significant resource for those interested in the Edda and Germanic studies.
