This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ...in Noatun. As ' freyr' was affixed to other names of heroes (p. 211-2), I find geirniorffr used for a hero in general, Ssem. 266b; conf. geirmimir, geirniflungr, &c. The name itself is hard to explain; is it akin to north, AS. norS, ON. norSr, Goth. naurbs? In Ssem. 109b there is niarolas for sera firma, or pensilis? I have met with no Nirdu, Nerd, Nird among OHG. proper names, nor with a NeorS in the AS. writings. Irminon's polyptych 222a has Narthildis (see Suppl.). Niorffr appears to have been greatly honoured: hofum oc horgum hann rseSr hundmorgum, Ssem. 36a; especially, no doubt, among people that lived on the sea coast. The Edda makes him rule over wind, sea and fire, he loves waters and lakes, as Nerthus in Tacitus bathes in the lake (Sn. 27); from the mountains of the midland he longs to be away where the swans sing on the cool shore; a water-plant, the spongia marina, bears the name of Niarffar vottr, NiorS's glove, which elsewhere was very likely passed on to his daughter Freyja, and so to Mary, for some kinds of orchis too, from their hand-shaped root, are called Mary's hand, lady-hand, god's hand (Dan. gudshaand). As Dionysus stands outside the ring of the twelve Olympian gods, so Nib'rSr, Freyr and Freyja seem by rights not to have been reckoned among the Ases, though they are marshalled among them in Sn. 27-8. They were Vanir, and therefore, according to the view of the elder Edda, different from Ases; as these dwelt in AsgarS, so did the Vanir in Vanaheim, the Alfar in Alfheim, the lotnar in lotunheim. Freyr is called Vaningi, Ssem. 86b. The Vanir were regarded as intelligent and wise, Ssem. 36a; and they entered into intimate fellowship with the Asen, while the Alfs and Ib'tuns always remained opposed to them. Some have...
