The Vinland sagas
Book • 1965
The Vinland Sagas are two Icelandic texts written independently of each other in the early 13th century.
They recount the Viking discovery of North America, specifically a land they called Vinland, before Christopher Columbus.
These sagas, the Saga of Erik the Red and the Saga of the Greenlanders, offer insights into the Norse exploration and attempted settlement of the region around present-day Canada.
They provide valuable, though sometimes conflicting, details about the voyages, the people encountered, and the resources found in this new land.
The Vinland Sagas remain essential sources for understanding the Viking presence in North America and the early European interactions with the continent.
