Riassunto

Excerpt from The Prose or Younger Edda Commonly Ascribed to Snorri Sturluson: Translated From the Old Norse

Iiingi Gylfi was a man wise and skilled in Spells, he wondered much that the Asafolk was so cunning that all things went after their will, (and) he thought to himself whether that might be from their own nature, or because of the mighty Gods whom they worshipped. He began his journey to Asgard and went stealthily, and took on him an old man's like ness, and hid himself so. But the Asa were wiser than he in that they had spaedom, and they saw his journey before he came, and made ready against him false shows. Now when he was come into the burg then saw he there a hall so high that he was scarce able to see over it, it's roof was laid with gilded shields as it were with shingles. So saith Piodolf of Hvina that Valhall was thatcht with shields.
