Den ældre Edda er sammen med Snorres Edda den primære kilde til vor viden om nordisk mytologi og dermed den vigtigste kilde til forståelsen af den religiøse tankegang i det førkristne Norden. Brates svenske oversættelse indeholder samtlige digte fra Den ældre Edda - digte om vikingetidens guder og helte. Desuden indeholder den Solsangen, der stilmæssigt har meget til fælles med eddadigtene men indholdsmæssigt er et kristent digt, måske et af de første kristne digte i Norden. Hele værket er forsynet med et omfattende register.
