 KrY-HrsAsg-1908-292-01 Early print review of the first edition of The Heroes of Asgard: "The Scandinavian mythology converted into a tale told for the edification of children, after the manner of books that have taught the Greek and Roman mythology. But no genius can invest the gods of Asgard with the charms of the gods of Olympus. They have none of the grace or dignity. But the authoress has made the best of an unattractive theme." (The Critic 130). Web. 27 July 2021.Full text of the review (ProQuest subscription required). Early print review of the first edition of The Heroes of Asgard: "The fables of the Northern mythology are here reduced to a form adapted to the intelligence of children. They have been cleverly set to an accompaniment of occasional dialogue, lightening and relieving the narrative of giants' wars and of heroic prowess achieved by dwellers in the immortal city. The book is a good specimen of learning made easy by being made pleasant." (The Athenaeum 470) Web. 27 July 2021.Full text of the Review (ProQuest subscription required).

This illustration was created by LouisHuard in London, for the 1908 edition of The Heroes of Asgard.

This illustration from The Heroes of Asgard from the collection of P. A. Baer.

The digital image repository, MyNDIR, began as part of P. A. Baer's Ph.D. project An Old Norse Image Hoard: From the Analog Past to the Digital Present. The original prototype for a digital image repository and web page featured illustrations of Old Norse gods and heroes from manuscripts and early print sources. The website was launched on June 6, 2013 with one hundred and one illustrations.

In the fall of 2018, MyNDIR became part of the Endings Project in the Humanities Computing and Media Centre at the University of Victoria. The purpose of the project is to archive websites by creating a static version of a site that can be used independent of the internet.

I initially used a Roma Schema with the modules: core, tei, header, textstructure, msdescription, namesdates, certainty, figures, transcr and linking.

All proper nouns for the metadata for the illustrations are marked up with TEI P5 by using: <gi>persName</gi> for beings such as gods, giants, humans, authors, illustrators etc. and <gi>name</gi> for animals, monsters, and artifacts. The <att>xml:id</att>s for proper nouns are always mixed case abbreviations that begin with a capital. The <gi>list</gi> elements always have <att>type</att> and usually have <att>subtype</att> as well. All other TEI tags such as: <placeName/> for places, <orgName/> for archives, and <person/> were used in the manner demonstrated by the TEI P5 guidelines. I use the <att>xml:lang</att> for all of these elements. The keyword items for all proper nouns are linked to further descriptive data in a Names directory (names.xml).

Keyword items consisting of simple nouns, are marked up as <gi>term</gi> to correspond to names of artifacts, animals, and monsters, e.g. Megingjörð = belt, Sleipnir = horse, Jörmungandr = serpent. The keyword items for all simple nouns are also entered in the names.xml file. The <att>xml:id</att>s for simple nouns are not abbreviated, always begin in lower case, are always in English, and are camel back when consisting of more than one word.

The critical approach for the selection of illustrations is focused through the theoretical lens of Material Philology which considers books and their material details, such as covers and illustrations, as cultural artifacts. This selection criteria results in a repository of images that is capable of revealing aspects of book history, culture, and production that the words of the texts alone cannot provide. Consequently, iterations of illustrations with minimal differences are not only included but valued for their research potential, e.g., illustrations from the first and second editions of Kongesagaer.

Old Norse orthography was the preferred representation for all names; however the English orthography was supplied in the keywords for Þōrr for Thor. Old Norse, English and other spellings were recorded in the names.xml file.

The spelling conventions for Old Norse conform to the practice established in An Icelandic-English Dictionary Cleasby,Richard and Vigfússon,Guðbrandur Clarendon Press Oxford 1957 , i.e., the stem of the name plus its nominative marker.

Anomalies Loki Loge

In Norse mythology, Loki is counted among the gods but he is a giant by birth.

 InThe Ring of the Nibelung, Richard Wagner created Loge by combining the figure of Loki, who is counted to be among the gods in the Prose Edda, with the giant Logi,who is the personification of fire in the myth concerning Þórr´s Journey to the Court of Útgarða-Loki. Gods and Goddesses Baldr Balder The god who was killed by his brother Höðr. Myths <ref target="DeathBald.xml">Death of Baldr Myth</ref> A myth concerning an accidental fratricide. It sometimes includes Loki as an instigator who dupes Baldr's brother, Höðr, into the act and actually guides his hand. In the Prose Edda, Snorri says that Höðr was blind.<ref target="PnLKi01.xml">The Punishment of Loki</ref>Snorri says in Gylfaginning that the Æsir pursued Loki after the death of Baldr. Loki tried to evade capture by shapeshifting into a salmon and hiding in a stream. The gods noticed the ashes of a net, that Loki had invented and then burned, so they made a net and used it to capture him. The gods used the guts of one of Loki's sons to him to a rock with a snake dripping venom on his head. Loki's wife Sigyn stayed with him and held a bowl to catch the venom but had to leave Loki occasionally to empty the bowl.NounsEdwardianThe Edwardian era began with the reign of King Edward VII, 1901 to 1910 (January 22, 1901 - July 28, 1914).
