Snorri, Prose Edda — Gylfaginning (primary_canonical)
Gylfaginning ch. 9 narrates the making of Askr and Embla and the gifts given to the first humans, including life and breath, while ch. 8 describes the cosmic body made from Ymir. Snorri does not present a nine-part soul taxonomy; this citation supplies the mythographic body-and-life frame only.
