Ole Worm

The prose Edda is undoubtedly by Snorri.

It is preserved in three primary manuscripts, Codex Regius, early 14th century, Codex Wormianus, 14th century, named from Ole Worm, from whose hands it passed in 1706 into the hands of Arni Magnussen, and Codex Upsaliensis, about 1300, perhaps a direct copy of Snorri's own text.

This last manuscript, and also the Arnamagnean vellum, number 748, which preserves a portion of the text, testify unmistakably to Snorri's authorship.

The codex even gives in detail the subjects of the three divisions of the book.

Almost eight feet tall and carrying a cheap new valise from Osborne's general store, this dark and goatish gargoyle appeared one day in Arkham in quest of the dreaded volume kept under lock and key at the college library.

The hideous Necronomicon of the mad Arab Alhazred in Olaus Wormius' Latin version, as printed in Spain in the seventeenth century.

He had never seen a city before, but had no thought save to find his way to the university grounds, where, indeed, he passed heedlessly by the great white-fanged watch-dog that barked with unnatural fury and enmity and tugged frantically at its stout chain.

Wilbur had with him the priceless but imperfect copy of Dr. D.'s English version, which his grandfather had bequeathed him, and upon receiving access to the Latin copy He at once began to collate the two texts with the aim of discovering a certain passage which would have come on the 751st page of his own defective volume.

This is...

There's some strange connection with this, like, Wormius.

Yeah.

Olaus Wormius?

Yeah.

That's a book, not a person.

Okay.

Yes, there we are.

Yes.

Of course.
