It exists in a single manuscript, from about the year 900, in the Bavarian dia lect.

"Muspilli" therefore served to expre the final conflagration of the world; and that is the subject of this fragment, which shows also an adaptation of pre-Christian to Christian ideas in the fight of Elias with Antichrist, which may answer to the contest between Thor and Surtur.
