On line 85 and forward of the General Introduction, you have a passage deviating significantly from the archive.org edition linked from the README. This is how it looks on archive.org:

In general the mythological poems are strongly 
heathen in character, and as Christianity became generally 
accepted throughout Norway and Iceland early in the elev- 
enth century, it is altogether likely that most of the poems 
dealing with the Norse gods antedate the year 1000. On 
the other hand, Hoffory, Finnur Jonsson and others have 
shown pretty conclusively from linguistic evidence that
these poems cannot have assumed anything like their pres- 
ent form before the ninth century. As for the poems be- 
longing to the hero cycles, one or two of them appear to 
be as late as 1100, but most of them clearly belong to the 
hundred years following 950. It is a fairly safe guess that 
the years between 900 and 1050 saw the majority of the 
Eddie poems put into shape, but it must be remembered 
that many changes took place during the long subsequent 
period of oral transmission, and also that many of the 
legends, both mythological and heroic, on which the poems 
were based, certainly existed in Norway, and quite pos- 
sibly in verse form, long before the year 900. In consider- 
ing such poems it is essential to forget the present mode 
of composition, whereby a poet at once fixes his thought 
and his style by means of writing, and to remember that for 
at least two centuries, and possibly much longer, the cor- 
rect transmission of many of the Eddie poems depended 
solely on accurate hearing and retentive memory."
