According to Gylfaginning, a book of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Baldr's wife is Nanna and their son is Forseti.

In Gylfaginning, Snorri relates that Baldr had the greatest ship ever built, named Hringhorni, and that there is no place more beautiful than his hall, Breidablik.

Gylfaginning, or the Tricking of Gylfi ( c. 20, 000 words ), is the first part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda after Prologue.

In the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda Höðr is introduced in an ominous way.

According to the Ragnarök prophecies in Snorri Sturluson's Gylfaginning, the first part of his Prose Edda, the sons of Muspell will break the Bifröst bridge, signaling the end of times:

In Gylfaginning by Snorri Sturluson, Gylfi, the king of ancient Scandinavia, receives an education in Norse mythology from Odin in the guise of three men.

Rudolf Simek says that the etymology that Snorri presents in Gylfaginning for the name Gná may not be correct, yet it is unclear what the name may otherwise mean, though Gná has also been etymologically theorized as a " goddess of fullness.

In the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson, valkyries are first mentioned in chapter 36 of the book Gylfaginning, where the enthroned figure of High informs Gangleri ( King Gylfi in disguise ) of the activities of the valkyries and mentions a few goddesses.

Finally there is a short piece of prose summarizing the tale of Loki's binding, which is told in fuller form in the Gylfaginning section of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda.

In the Prose Edda, Snorri Sturluson gave this information in Gylfaginning but in a list of kennings in Skáldskaparmál equates Gymir with the god and giant Ægir, citing a verse by Hofgarða-Refr Gestsson where the kenning in question probably simply substitutes one giant-name for another.

In Gylfaginning, Snorri mentions the high seat on four occasions.

According to the Gylfaginning part of Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Níðhöggr is a being which gnaws one of the three roots of Yggdrasill.

In Norse mythology, Þrúðgelmir (; Old Norse " Strength Yeller ") is a frost giant, the son of the primordial giant Aurgelmir ( who Snorri Sturluson in Gylfaginning identifies with Ymir ), and the father of Bergelmir.

According to the Gylfaginning section of the Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, Bergelmir and his wife alone among the giants were the only survivors of the enormous deluge of blood which flowed from Ymir's wounds when he was killed by Odin and his brothers Vili and Ve.

Naglfar is attested in a single mention in the Prose Edda ( written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson ) book Gylfaginning, where he is described as one of a series of three husbands of Nótt, and that the couple produced a son, Auðr.

Snorri Sturluson confirms it ( Gylfaginning,, Skáldskaparmál, ).

Snorri Sturluson cites this passage in his account of Ragnarök in the Gylfaginning section of his Prose Edda.

In Gylfaginning, Sturluson expands upon this notion considerably.

Logi appears by that name in Gylfaginning ( Prose Edda ) written by Snorri Sturluson in the tale of Thor and Loki's journey to the castle of the giant Útgarða-Loki in Jötunheimr where Loki was pitted against Logi in an eating contest.

Snorri Sturluson states in his Gylfaginning that "' s brothers are Býleistr and Helblindi ", and several Eddic texts use the Loki-kenning " brother of Býleistr " ( bróðir Býleists ) ( Völuspá, ; Hyndluljóð, ; Skáldskaparmál, ).

In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Hel is described as having been appointed by the god Odin as ruler of a realm of the same name, located in Niflheim.

The name Niflheimr only appears in two extant sources, Gylfaginning and the much debated Hrafnagaldr Óðins.

The etymology of the Old Norse name Sæhrímnir is problematic ; in contradiction to the Gylfaginning ( and, depending upon translator, Grímnismál ) description of the animal as a boar, Sæhrímnir is, in modern scholarship, commonly proposed to mean " sooty sea-beast " or " sooty sea-animal " ( which may be connected to Old Norse seyðir, meaning ' cooking ditch ').

Annar / Ónar is also the name of a dwarf in the catalogue of dwarfs in the Völuspá that is repeated in the Gylfaginning.

In Norse mythology, Hati Hróðvitnisson ( first name meaning " He Who Hates, Enemy ") is a wolf that according to Gylfaginning chases the Moon across the night sky, just as the wolf Sköll chases the Sun during the day, until the time of Ragnarök when they will swallow these heavenly bodies, after which Fenrir will break free from his bonds and kill Odin.

Hati's surname is Hróðvitnisson, attested in both Grímnismál and Gylfaginning, which indicates that he is the son of Fenrir, whose alternate name is Hróðvitnir (" Famous Wolf ").

Rudolf Simek theorizes that Snorri used skaldic kennings to produce his Gylfaginning commentary about the goddess, while combining several etymologies with the Old Norse personal name Lofn.

In Snorri's account Gylfi is deluded by the Æsir into accepting their supposed religious beliefs, hence the name Gylfaginning ' Deluding of Gylfi '.

In Snorri's Gylfaginning Ali is only another name for Vali and Nep is the father of Baldur's wife Nanna.

Logi appears by that name in Gylfaginning in the tale of Thor and Loki's journey to the castle of the giant Útgarða-Loki in Jötunheimr where Loki was pitted against Logi in an eating contest.
