The thula (/ˈθuːlə/; pl. thulas, from Old Norse: þula pl. þulur) is an ancient poetic genre in the Germanic literatures. Thulas are metrical name-lists or lists of poetic synonyms compiled, mainly, for oral recitation. The main function of thulas is thought to be mnemonic. The Old Norse term was first applied to an English poem, the Old English "Widsith", by Andreas Heusler and in 1903. Thulas occur as parts of longer poems, too; Old Norse examples are found in various passages of the poetic and the prose Edda (esp. Skáldskaparmál with the Nafnaþulur, Grímnismál, Alvíssmál), the Rígsþula as well as in the Völuspá. Thulas can be considered as sources of once canonic knowledge, rooted in prehistoric beliefs and rituals. They generally preserve mythological and cosmogonical knowledge, often

- La thula (pluriel thulur) est un genre poétique médiéval, très fréquent dans la mythologie nordique. Il s'agit d'une énumération de noms propres, probablement à but mnémotechnique en vue d'une récitation orale. Ainsi, on y trouve beaucoup de figure de styles qui facilitent leur apprentissage :
* les allitérations : répétition d'une ou plusieurs consonnes
* les assonances : répétition d'un même son vocalique dans plusieurs mots proches
* les paronymies : rapport de deux mots dont les prononciations sont fort proches. (fr)

* les assonances : répétition d'un même son vocalique dans plusieurs mots proches
* les paronymies : rapport de deux mots dont les prononciations sont fort proches. Il existe des thulur de noms de nains, de Valkyries, des mille noms d'Odin et même des thulur de noms de géants, d'animaux et d'armes (voir Nafnaþulur). (fr)
- The thula (/ˈθuːlə/; pl. thulas, from Old Norse: þula pl. þulur) is an ancient poetic genre in the Germanic literatures. Thulas are metrical name-lists or lists of poetic synonyms compiled, mainly, for oral recitation. The main function of thulas is thought to be mnemonic.

Thulas can be considered as sources of once canonic knowledge, rooted in prehistoric beliefs and rituals. They generally preserve mythological and cosmogonical knowledge, often proper names and toponyms, but also the names of semi-legendary or historical persons. Their language is usually highly formalized, and they make extensive use of mnemonic devices such as alliteration. For a number of archaic words and formulas, some thulas are the only available source. The term and the genre may go back to the function of the Thyle (Old Norse: þulr), who held the function of an orator and was responsible for the cultus. (en)
