Jacob Grimm's Deutsche Mythologie is a landmark work still much in use today, particularly by way of a late 19th century English translation by James Steven Stallybrass (Teutonic Mythology). Teutonic Mythology is, however, not the most approachable of works; the four volumes that make up Teutonic Mythology are jam-packed with raw, oft untranslated data coupled with Grimm's own erudite commentary, and placed in a hazy framework of barebones organization.
It is due in particular to this vague organization that I am building the extended table of contents for Stallybrass's four volumes that one may find below.
