  Poetic Edda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Codex Regius was written in the 13th century but nothing is known of its whereabouts until 1643 when it came into the possession of Brynjólfur Sveinsson, then Bishop of Skálholt.
This poem, also not in Codex Regius, is sometimes included in editions of the Poetic Edda even though it is Christian and belongs, properly speaking, to the visionary literature of the Middle Ages.

The poem was certainly not composed to tell a story with which its early hearers were quite familiar; the lack of continuity which baffles modern readers presumably did not trouble them in the least.
Regius combines the first three lines of this stanza with lines 3, 2, and I of stanza 47 as a single stanza.
This is one of the relatively rare instances in the Eddic poems of the type of poetic diction which characterizes the skaldic verse.

Certainly the basis of it is a poem dealing with the finding of Brynhild by Sigurth, but of this original poem only five stanzas (2-4 and 20-21) can be identified with any degree of confidence.
The nature and condition of the material have made editorial conjectures and emendations very numerous, and as most of the guesses are neither conclusive nor particularly important, only a few of their are mentioned in the notes.
Stanzas 20-21 are all that remains of the dialogue between Brynhild and Sigurth from the poem to which stanzas 2-4 belong; cf.

 Harbarthsljoth
The Harbarthsljoth is found complete in the Codex Regius, where it follows the Skirnismol, and from the fourth line of stan{z}a 19 to the end of the poem in the Arnamagnæan Codex, of which it occupies the first page and a half.
The Atli poems exemplify the conventional use of Malahattr, but in the Harbarthsljoth the form is used with extraordinary freedom, and other metrical forms are frequently employed.
The poem is simply a contest of abuse, such as the early Norwegian and Icelander delighted in, the opposing figures being Thor and Othin, the latter appearing in the disguise of the ferryman Harbarth.

 Wasatch Lodge #1 Free & Accepted Masons - Freemasonry - Salt Lake City, Utah USA » Regius Poem (Halliwell MS)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
James Orchard Halliwell, under the title of “A Poem on the Constitutions of Masonry.” from the original manuscript in the King’s Library of the British Museum.
At the head of the poem is the inscription: “Hie incipiunt constituciones artis gemetriae secundum Euclydem.” The language is older than that of Wicliffe’s version of the Bible, which was written toward the end of the 14th century, but in Bro.
The variations which exist between the Halliwell poem or poems, and other Masonic manuscripts of later date, are very important.

 General Introduction
Even if the poems of the so-called Edda were not so significant and intrinsically so valuable, the long series of scholarly struggles which have been going on over them for the better part of three centuries would in itself give them a peculiar interest.
How many other similar poems, now lost, may have existed in such collections as were current in Iceland in the later twelfth and thirteenth centuries we cannot know, though it is evident that some poems of this type are missing.
Clearly the poems were the work of many different men, living in different periods; clearly, too, most of them existed in oral tradition for generations before they were committed to writing.

 Guthrunarhvot
The two concluding poems in the Codex Regius, the Guthrunarhvot (Guthrun's Inciting) and the Hamthesmol (The Ballad of Hamther), belong to a narrative cycle connected with those of Sigurth, the Burgundians, and Atli (cf.
In any event the present title is really a misnomer; the poet, who presumably was an eleventh century Icelander, used the episode of Guthrun's inciting her sons to vengeance for the slaying of Svanhild simply as an introduction to his main subject, the last lament of the unhappy queen.
The text of the poem in Regius is by no means in good shape, and editorial emendations have been many and varied, particularly in interchanging lines between the Guthrunarhvot and the Hamthesmol.

Critics have generally agreed in dating the poem as we now have it as early as the first half of the tenth century; Finnur Jonsson puts it as early as goo, and claims it, as usual, for Nor way.
In Regius and in nearly all the editions the first two lines of this stanza are followed by lines 3-5 of stanza 35.

BY JASON C. The Regius Manuscript was written at some point around the year 1400 A.D. in the form of a short epic poem.
From this evidence and the style of writing, it can be deducted the Regius Poem as we know it was written by a Priest, Monk or Scribe from earlier recorded documents and collections.
I do not maintain my interpretations to be the basis nor conclusion for any man or Mason; the Regius Poem being readily available should be studied and reflected upon by each individual and practitioner of our speculative fraternity.

Indeed, Robert Freke Gould, famous Masonic Historian, initiated a controversy that has not yet ended when he commented on this poem as follows: “These rules of decorum read very curiously in the present age, but their inapplicability to the circumstances of the working Masons of the fourteenth or fifteenth century will be at once apparent.
