Only the first page is accessible, the others two are "sclerotized".
It looks like an admixture of pearls and manure. It is valuable only
for information provided about Old Norse culture. But interpretations
are simply products of crackpot.
Vanir is not comparable to Svani, Aesov is incompatible with Aesir (<
*ansejz or *ansjuz) where /ae/ is only an open /e:/ denoting Umlaut,
etc...

Sincerely
