Prose Edda by Snorri Sturluson, Translated by Jesse Byock

Gylfaginning serves as the primary narrative core of the Prose Edda, laying out the full mythological framework from creation to destruction in a coherent, continuous account. By contrast, Skáldskaparmál functions as a supplementary collection. It expands on individual myths, anecdotes, and figures, mainly to illustrate poetic language and the use of kennings. Together, they form a layered system: Gylfaginning provides the structure, while Skáldskaparmál fills in detail and shows how that material is used in skaldic tradition.

I consider the Prose Edda to be a secondary source while the Poetic Edda is the primary source.
