"The pioneer and fundamental work on the Norse voyages to America, on which most of the subsequent literature has been based. This large folio contains the original text of the sagas in old Icelandic and translations into Danish and Latin, followed by critical discussions in Latin; extracts from ancient Icelandic geographical writings, descriptions of European relics in Greenland; descriptions and discussions of supposed Norse relics in New England and an elaborate identification of localities. A summary of the evidence and conclusions is given in English.
