About this edition
A messenger moving between the crown and the roots.
The owning source is Gylfaginning 16. It describes Ratatoskr running up and down the ash and carrying words of envy or malice between the eagle and Níðhöggr. The S-shaped tree, animals' appearances, pale sky, clouds, foliage, colours and exact arrangement are modern visual interpretations rather than details supplied by the text. The Latin title uses the collection's modern Norse-revival display font; RATATOSKR · GYLFAGINNING 16 is a modern source line. No historical rune spelling is claimed or used.
