📚 Búri – Wikipedia
Educational content from Wikipedia – The Free Encyclopedia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Norse mythical character Búri is licked out of a salty ice-block by the cow Auðumblain this illustration from an 18th-century Icelandic manuscript. In Norse mythology,Búri(Old Norse:[ˈbuːre]) is a divinity god 'producer, father' of all other gods,and an early ancestor of the Æsirgods of the principal pantheon in Old Norse religion. Búri was licked free from salty rime stones by the primeval cow Auðumblaover the course of three days. Búri's background beyond this point is unattested, and he had a son,Borr, by way of an unknown process. Búri is attested in the Prose Edda, composed in the 13th century by Icelander Snorri Sturluson. The Prose Eddaincludes a quote from a 12th-century poem byskaldÞórvaldr Blönduskáld that mentions the figure. Búri's mysterious origins are the subject of scholarly commentary and interpretation. Name The name Búri, like the name of his son Burr, is derived from the Proto-Germanicburiz"son, born". Thus, both names basically mean the same thing. In research, Buri's name is translated as "begotten, father" and Burr as "begotten, son"- probably because of the generational sequence. However, how he fathered his son is not explained; either by himself or through sexual reproduction. Attestations Búri receives mention twice in the Prose Edda--once in Gylfaginningand again in a skaldic poem quoted in Skáldskaparmál. The Gylfaginningsection reads as follows:Hon sleikti hrímsteinana er saltir váru. Ok hinn fyrsta er hon sleikti steina, kom ór steininum at kveldi manns hár, annan dag manns höfuð, þriðja dag var þar allrmaðr. Sá er nefndr Búri. Hann var fagr álitum, mikill ok máttugr. Hann gat son þann er Borr hét. She licked the ice-blocks, which were salty; and the first day that she licked the blocks, there came forth from the blocks in the evening a man's hair; the second day, a man's head; the third day the whole man was there. He is named Búri: he was fair of feature, great and mighty. He begat a son called Borr[.]--Brodeur's translation Búri is mentioned nowhere in the Poetic Eddaand only once in theskaldic corpus. In Skáldskaparmál Snorri quotes the following verse by the 12th centuryskaldÞórvaldr blönduskáld:Nú hefk martí miði greipatburar Bors,Búra arfa.
