Very good hardcover, no dustjacket as issued. Tight binding, solid spine, clean unmarked text. Large 4to, 176 pages. Decorative embossed frontboard. A remarkable work of documentary scholarship, this volume presents, for the first time, English translations of the Flatey Book and newly uncovered Vatican manuscripts that assert Norse exploration and settlement of North America centuries before Columbus. The text includes sagas detailing voyages to the New World and correspondence from several Popes addressing ecclesiastical governance in these distant lands, offering an extraordinary perspective on pre-Columbian transatlantic contact. Edited and introduced by Rasmus B. Anderson, the volume also features selections from the Hauk Book and a comprehensive section on Vatican documents relating to the church in America before Columbus. A significant contribution to both Norse and early American studies, and a testament to the enduring intrigue of Viking exploration.
