another order of Dumézil for the NorsePlay table, please.

NorsePlay makes a request: We want an English translation of Georges Dumézil's Loki . Many of Dumézil's other works have seen translation and do a fair share of referencing Loki , so it would stand to reason that for research's sake Loki would be translated too, but this is not yet the case. While we may not agree with some of Dumézil's premises, we love the erudition he brings to the table to weave together, and from this we always learn something. If any of you have contacts at Flammarion who can get a translation from UCLA Center for the Study of Comparative Folklore & Mythology or The University of Chicago Press' Derek Coltman, for the sake of Norse Lore studies, please do so. Thanks. [For NorsePlay's review of Dumézil's Gods of the Ancient Northmen, read it here .] #    #    # Guillermo Maytorena IV knew there was something special in  the Norse Lore when he picked up a copy of the d'Aulaires'  Norse Gods and Giants  at age seven. ...
