Description
An illustration of the Norse cosmos at the close of Finnur Magnússon's 1825 Eddalæren og dens oprindelse - vol. 3 (p. 339). This image is followed by a colour illustration of the nine worlds, and a schematic of various cosmologies for comparison with the Norse. It is one of the earliest attempts to represent the Norse cosmos as a unified whole.
