* EDDA. 639 EDDYSTOKE. Vijrfrtsson. in the Corpus Pncticiini Dorcalc, vol. i. (1883), tried to ivanaiige the parts, but his attpiii]>l is rt'jiardetl as ingenious rather than eonvincinjr. These sonps, which were discovered and tirst l)rou,!;ht to the notice of European scholars in ItU.'i by Brynjolf Sveinsson, Bisliop of Skalholt. in Iceland, were incorrectly sup- posed by him to be the work of Sieniund the Wise (1055-11:52). His application to them of the name Edda is also improper, as that title, which probably means poetic guide, belongs only to the prose work. The etymology of the word that connects it with (]rcat-gra>idmother is no longer taken seriously. The unique JIS. in which the Elder Edda is contained is called the Codex Kcpius. and is lodged in the Royal Library at Copenhagen. A splendid lithographic facsimile edition, willi a diplomatic text, was issued in 1891 under the editorship of Wimmer and Jons- son. A facsimile of a fragment of another IIS. nf the Edda was published five years later by .Tonsson. The collection was first published entire at Stockholnj in ISIS by A. A. Afzelius, and at Copenhagen by the Arna-ilagnrean Com- mission in 1777-1S2S, with a Latin translation, glossaries, etc. Complete editions were also pub- lished bv JIunch (IS47). Liining (1859). Miibius (18G0)."and Svend Grundtvig (1807). But all former editions have been superseded by that of Sophus Bugge (1867). Hildebrand"s edition (1876) is accompanied bv a valuable glossary by H. Gering (2d ed. 1S96). In German, the best rendering is Simrock's. Both Ettmiiller and the brothers Grimm have translated por- tions. The latest German version is H. Gering's (1892). A Danish rendering of the mythical lays by Karl Gjellerup was issued in an illus- trated edition in 1895. The standard Danish translation is iliiller's (1871). There is a French rendering by E. de Laveleye (1806). The earliest English translation is Cottle's (1767). A complete English translation by Ben Thorpe was published in 1866. Several of the lays are translated by R. B. Anderson, in his yorthern ilythotofii/ (1875). In the Corpus Poeticum an English rendering is given by F. Yorke Powell, in which the arrangement of Vigflis- son's text is followed. For a discussion of the question of the pos- sible non-Scandinavian origin of the Elder Edda, consult Bugge.

EDDY, Maky Bakek Glover (c.IS22— ). The founder of the Christian Scientist denomination. Slie was born at Bow, near Concord, X. H. When a comparatively young woman, she reriioved to the South and married Col. George W. Glover, of Charleston, S. C, with whom she lived in that city. In 1877 she married Dr. Asa G. Eddy. Mrs. Eddy gives 1866 as the date of her discov- ery of Christian Science. She founded the first Christian Science Church at Boston in 1879, and opened the Massachusetts Metaphysical College there in I88I. She frequently appeared upon the lecture platform, and wrote much for the Christian Science publications, but is most widely known as the author of Science and Health, rrith Key to the Script ures. The first edition of this work was published in 1875. and sin -c then it has been reprinted, with various modifications in its wording, to the number of more than a quarter of a million copies. It sets forth the Christian Scientists' interpretation of the Holy Scri])tures and their understanding of the religion of Christ. Christian Scientists believe that living in strict accord with its teaching will im])rove the moral and spiritual condition of its adlierents, and consequently their physical condition. Some of Mrs. Eddy's other publications are: People's Idea of Oo(i"(1886) ; Christian Healing (1886) : Retrospection and Introspection (1891); Unity of Good (1891); Rudimental Divine Science (1891); .Vo and Tes (1891); Manual (1895); Miscellaneous Writings (1896); Christ and Christmas (1897) ; Christian Science i:ersus Pan- theism (1898); Pulpit and Press (1898); and Message to the Mother Church (1000, 1901, 1902).
