ABSTRACT
The two poems Baldrs draumar and Hyndluljóð are not found in the Codex Regius of the Poetic Edda. Baldrs draumar is in a manuscript containing a number of Eddic fragments, AM 748 4°, while Hyndluljóð is preserved in Flateyjarbók. One stanza (st. 33) occurs in Snorri’s Edda where it is designated as part of Vǫluspd in skamma (The Short Vǫluspá). Sts. 29–44 of Hyndluljóð are normally regarded as part of as Vǫluspd in skamma, since the transition from st. 28 to 29 is abrupt, both in terms of style and content. At st. 45, Hyndluljóð appears to return to the frame situation.
