The purpose of this thesis is an in-depth analysis of the Eddic poem Grímnismál found in the manuscript known as Codex Regius (GKS 2365 4to), located in Reykjavík, dated to c. 1270 and a fragment (AM 748 I 4to), located in Copenhagen, dated to c. 1300. While a great deal of work has been done on Grímnismál as part of the Elder Edda, there is yet no specific edition focusing on it alone. New studies on Germanic paganism and mythology show its shifting nature and the absence of specific tenets or uniform beliefs throughout the Germanic speaking world and in time. The relatively absent sources are similarly scattered. As such, the thesis suggests a new method of study, following a focused historical approach in which only Grímnismál is analysed in an attempt to understand the beliefs of the people that composed it. The nature of pagan belief itself prevents one from drawing more general conclusions on ‘Norse mythology' as a whole. Part 1 is divided into two chapters and deals with my approach, the nature of Germanic belief, and the sources available as well as techniques of interpretation for them, all relevant to the production of the arguments made in the thesis. Part 2 deals with Grímnismál itself: Chapter 1 provides an analysis of the manuscripts, Chapter 2 contains my editing notes and Chapter 3 analyses the contents of the poem, Chapter 4 consists of my conclusions to this study, focusing on the cosmology and the dating of the poem. Part 3 contains the edition of Grímnismál and is followed by Part 4 which is the commentary to the poem. The thesis is followed by two appendices, one containing a facing transcription of the manuscripts and the other being a glossary to all words used in Grímnismál. Finally, this thesis includes a digital edition worked on xml. This is available in the following link: https://starescomp.github.io/grimnismal/#idm140518410334752

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo estudar como os poemas de Claro Enigma de Carlos Drummond de Andrade se articulam e como tal articulação os modifica e os constitui como livro. Para tanto, analisa-se a nota introdutória da antologia que Drummond compôs com seus próprios poemas, na qual ele expõe e explica seus critérios de organização, usando o adjetivo vertebrado para qualificá-la; em seguida, passa-se à leitura das seis seções do livro, buscando-se identificar as maneiras como elas estão construídas e como isso afeta suas composições; aponta-se, então, o uso de algumas imagens repetidas em diferentes poemas, rearticulando as seções e o conjunto; e, por fim, examina-se as diversas edições do Claro Enigma / This dissertation seeks to study how the poems of Claro Enigma, by Carlos Drummond de Andrade, are integrated and how this integration changes them and makes a book out of them. In order to do so, it is analyzed the introductory note of the anthology that the poet has made of his own compositions, in which he exposes and explains the criteria used by him in this task. In this note he also has characterized this anthology as a vertebrated one. Afterwards, the six sections of Claro Enigma are examined; with the purpose of identify the ways by which they are built and how this affects their poems. After that it is studied the use of some images in more than one poem and how they remodel the sections and the whole. Lastly, there is a study of the different editions of Claro Enigma
