	Edda (Everyman's Library (Paper)) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The translator - for reasons which are certainly valid - opted to render all of the verse as prose, preserving its literal meaning [with allegorical meanings choppily inserted in square brackets,] but utterly detroying its power as POETRY.
		The final section is called "Hattatal" and it consists of a few verse quotations and three original poems composed by Snorri himself in a different style for each verse, with sections of prose in between stanzas to explain the technical details (rhyme, meter, alliteration, etc) of each style.
		There's a total of 102 verses in the Hattatal, and the poetry here is actually somewhat interesting; more so, at least, than the nuts-and-bolts discussion of the fine points of skaldic composition.

	Northvegr - Prose Edda - Anderson Trans.
		In the first place, we find that the writer of the grammatical and rhetorical part of the Younger Edda distinctly mentions Snorre as author of Hattatal (the Clavis Metrica), and not only of the poem itself, but also of the treatise in prose.
		This part of the Younger Edda may thus be said to date back to the year 1230, though the material out of which the mythological system is constructed is of course much older.
		Then follows Skaldskaparmal, wherein is an analysis of the various circumlocutions practiced by the skalds, all illustrated by copious quotations from the poets.

		Hattatal (an enumeration of metres; a sort of Clavis Metrica).
		We havenot translated any of the Hattatal, and only the narrative part of Skaldskaparmal, and yet our version contains more of the Younger Edda than any English, German, French or Danish translation that has hitherto been published.
		The parts omitted cannot possibly be of any interest to any one who cannot read them in the original.

	Icelandic Sagas
		Three years later he took a trip to Scandinavia and stayed with King Hakon Hakonsson, which is where and for whome he wrote the Hattatal, a long poem meant to honor Hakon and which earned him the position of being that King's favorite.
		Fifteen years after writing the Hattatal, the Sturlung Age; a period which took it's name from Snorri's own family, who had much to do with the events of the time, arose.
		Eventually Snorri's own nephew turned against him and became the King's new favorite, placing Snorri in potential danger, as his nephew sought to amass wealth and power at anyone's expense.

	Galdor article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		The Anglo-Saxon word galdor (Old Norse galdr) refers to a kind of magical charm that is chanted or sung.
		Among the verse forms Snorri Sturluson lists in the section of his Prose Edda called Hattatal, he includes an example of galdralag --the Galdr metre, so it's possible that galdr charms had a particular rhythmic structure in Old Norse.
		Little information concerning the use of galdor has come down to us, although they seem to have been a well known form of magic in heathen times.

		Besides his Edda, he wrote Heimskringla, a history of the kings of Norway, and he is believed also to have written Egil's Saga, one of the greatest of the Icelandic family sagas.
		Gylfaginning is the most extensive account of Norse myths and legends that has survived, and the basis for much of our present knowledge of Old Norse mythology.
		Skaldskaparmal is a long essay on the language of poetry, while Hattatal discusses the categories of verse-forms.

		Three years later he took a trip to Scandinavia and stayed with King Hakon Hakonsson, who would later make Iceland subservient to the Norwegian throne.
		There he became favored company of the King and for the King he composed a long poem called the Hattatal, which can be found in his book, The Prose Edda.
		After Snorri returned to Iceland fifteen years later, what is called the Sturlung Age arose, an era of political turmoil and feuding.
