 The Poetic Edda - Vol 1 - Lays of the Gods - Voluspo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
At the beginning of the collection in the Codex Regius stands the Voluspo, the most famous and important, as it is likewise the most debated, of all the Eddic poems.
Dwelling: Regius has "sæ" (sea) instead of "sal" (hall, home), and many editors have followed this reading, although Snorri's prose paraphrase indicates "sal." Urth, Verthandi and Skuld: "Past," "Present" and "Future." Wood, etc.: the magic signs (runes) controlling the destinies of men were cut on pieces of wood.
Regius combines the first three lines of this stanza with lines 3, 2, and I of stanza 47 as a single stanza.

 Imagining Paradise
This is in harmony with the perspective of the vision: helgar kindir in Hauksbók (by emendation in Codex Regius) is possibly a reference to the gods, while meiri ok minni megir Heidmallar (in both manuscripts) probably refers to the myth of how the social strata were initiated by Heimdallr.
In Codex Regius stanzas 28, 29, 34, 35, 38, 40, 49, 59, 60; in Hauksbók stanzas 24, 25, 30, 35, 41, 55, 56.
In Codex Regius the expressions occur in stanzas 1-2 and 18-61, in Hauksbók stanzas 1-2 and 19-59.

The oldest Eddic lays have been dated to the 9th century, and it is thought likely that most of them were composed in the last period of paganism, but some not until after the conversion to Christianity.
Although many of the Eddic poems are only preserved in Codex Regius, some are also to be found in a surviving fragment of a closely related collection of Eddic poetry which is younger than Codex Regius.
Völsunga saga is also of textual importance for the Codex Regius since the saga is partly a prose retelling of a number of the heroic lays.

 Edda
This codex was found in Iceland in 1643 by Bishop Brynjólf Sveinsson.
Unfortunately this cycle of poems is incomplete, owing to a great gap of about eight leaves in the "Codex Regius"; but an idea of the contents of the lost poems may be gained from the prose version of the "Volsungasaga", the author of which still had before him the complete collection.
A lithographic facsimile edition of the "Codex Regius", with a diplomatic text, was given by Wimmer and Jónsson (Copenhagen, 1891).

 Codex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A codex (Latin for block of wood, book; plural codices) is a book in the format used for modern books, with separate pages normally bound together and given a cover.
The codex was an improvement upon the scroll, which it gradually replaced, first in the West, and much later in Asia.
The codex in turn became the printed book, for which the term is not used.

 The Masks of Odin by Elsa-Brita Titichenell (Edda, ancient norse
Among the great wealth of material in the Norse myths it has been necessary to be selective, partly because there are several versions of many of the tales, partly because the purpose of this book is to bring out and suggest interpretations of those myths which are of particular relevance in our time.
Most of the lays and stories herein are translated from the Codex Regius -- the "royal codex" -- which was written down by Saemund the Wise a thousand years ago, though their content has doubtless been known much longer than that.
Today they are luminous with meaning due to two seemingly independent circumstances: first, the disclosure of a generous portion of the universal theosophic philosophy in the late nineteenth century and the broadening influence this has exerted; and second, following closely thereafter, the development of a more enlightened science in the West.

These are the Primary Uncials (Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Alexandrinus, Codex Vaticanus, Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, Codex Bezae), Codex Laudianus (E) which is a bilingual Uncial confined to Acts, later Uncials like Codex Modena, Codex Regius, Codex the Priestly Code (P), the Cursives, the Vulgate, the Peshitta and the Harclean Syriac and quotations from the Fathers.
The text of Westcott and Hort, The New Testament in Greek is practically that of Codex Vaticanus, which is held to be the Neutral type of text.
The feeble support that Codex Bezae has in its peculiar readings in Acts (due to absence of Curetonian Syriac and of the Old Latin) makes it difficult always to estimate the value of this document.

 Ratatoskr
Being a skáld, a poet whose function was not only to be writing poems himself and have knowledge of all the different forms of verse, but also to be able to recite other peoples poems as a source of knowledge and history, he must have had a lot of information that we don't know about.
The third reason is to be found in the fact that Snorri must be considered a historian, not quite in the modern scientific sense, but nevertheless with thourough knowledge of his source material.
In the poem Völuspá from Codex Regius, also one of Snorri's main sources for his Edda, the symbolism of the opposites good/bad, or eagle/dragon becomes clear.

 Voluspa - Gurupedia
The Völuspa is the most famous and the most furiously debated of the Eddic poems, it is found in the Codex Regius (composed between the 9th to 13th centuries) and in Hauk Erlendsson's Hauksbok Codex (circa 1334), and many of it's stanzas are included in Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda (circa 1220).
The order of the stanzas varies in these sources, and widely so between the Hauksbok and the Codex Regius.
The poem is at once as rhythmically beautiful as it is visually severe, a contrast befitting the world it's set in, and reveals a poet of great genius.
