The Prose Edda also known as the Younger Edda was compiled by the Icelandic scholar and historian Snorri Sturluson around 1220. It is divided in four sections. The Prologue is a euhemerized account of the Norse gods. Then Gylfaginning provides details aspects of Norse mythology. Skáldskaparmál is a list of kennings and heiti about heroic and mythologic stories. Finally, Háttatal discusses the composition of traditional skaldic poetry (as a manual). This is an English translation from the 19th century.
It is considered the fullest and most detailed source for modern knowledge of Norse mythology, the body of myths of the North Germanic peoples, and draws from a wide variety of sources, including versions of poems that survive into today in a collection known as the Poetic Edda.
