A Comparative View of Religions

by Johannes Henricus Scholten

[6] Among the Roman writers who furnish us with information upon the religion of the Germans, Tacitus deserves mention, in his "Germania," as well as in his "Annales" passim. The chief source with regard to the Norse religion is the older Edda, under the title "Edda Sæmundar hin Froda."
