The Vinland Voyages (Classic Reprint) by Matthias Thordarson Pdf

Excerpt from The Vinland Voyages The striking upheaval of folk energy known as the Viking Age is the background of our story. The books about that period increase, but we grow thereby more in wealth of theory than of fact. It is only a slight overstatement to say that the more we know about the doings of the time the less confident we are about the theories that explain the way things were done.

The Vinland Sagas by Leifur Eiricksson Pdf

The Saga of the Greenlanders and Eirik the Red’s Saga contain the first ever descriptions of North America, a bountiful land of grapes and vines, discovered by Vikings five centuries before Christopher Columbus. Written down in the early thirteenth century, they recount the Icelandic settlement of Greenland by Eirik the Red, the chance discovery by seafaring adventurers of a mysterious new land, and Eirik’s son Leif the Lucky’s perilous voyages to explore it. Wrecked by storms, stricken by disease and plagued by navigational mishaps, some survived the North Atlantic to pass down this compelling tale of the first Europeans to talk with, trade with, and war with the Native Americans.

HARMONY OF THE VINLAND VOYAGES by Robert Hodanko Pdf

At the beginning of the High Middle Ages, Europe was recovering from the chaotic Early Middle Ages coupled with a period of colder climate. Learning, agriculture, trade, population, urbanization and state power were on the rise. Since the 870s, Iceland had been permanently settled by Norse emigrants from Europe. Around the year 985 or 986, a new wave of migration led by Eirik the Red arrived to Greenland from overpopulated Iceland. The same year Bjarni Herjolfsson was blown off his course to Greenland and sighted unknown lands in the west. About 15 years later began the most exciting chapter of European explorations and discoveries in the west, started by Leif Eiriksson's voyage and exploration of Vinland. Five centuries ahead of the Age of Discovery, Leif visited North America and left there a base which was used by explorers who followed. Their voyages and explorations were later vividly described in the Vinland Sagas. The fact that these first European explorers were able to find Leif's base in North America, without maps and tools for precise navigation, is striking. It is evidence that it was not difficult to find Vinland... The Vinland Sagas excited many of their readers. Likewise, seeming or real disharmony of their records puzzled them. When I read The Vinland Sagas for the first time several years ago, I was impressed by them but did not understand their message. When I read The Vinland Sagas for the second time in December 2013, I was impressed by them again, but this time I was determined to make greater effort to understand their message. I approached the Sagas as records capturing testimonies of Vinland voyages and explorations that were handed down for generations before they were written. When I encountered the bull episode recorded in the Sagas, I realized that it can be harmonized and explained. Likewise I came to the conclusion that all of the recorded Vinland voyages can be harmonized and explained. I read passages of the Sagas over and over, made notes of the information, and harmonized them. I was not writing book then. I simply wanted to understand where the Norsemen sailed, where they settled, and what places they visited. With The Vinland Sagas, Webster's Dictionary, maps, and my basic harmony of the Vinland voyages, on December 12, 2013, I identified a place for Leif's base in Vinland. The location seems to be in internal harmony with information in The Vinland Sagas as well as in external harmony with maps and information that I was able to find on the internet. Based on my notes, I wrote this book, which should be understood as a possible interpretation and explanation of The Vinland Sagas. I enjoyed writing this book, and I hope that you will enjoy reading it.

Studies on the Vineland Voyages (Classic Reprint) by Gustav Storm Pdf

Excerpt from Studies on the Vineland Voyages Adam's account alone, brief though it is, has likewise great importance as a source of historical lore. It is, to begin with, the earliest; dating from about the year 1070, it shows the tradition to have been then still fresh and unimpaired in the Northern countries, and points back to the same period of which the Icelandic tradition relates. Then, it is independent of manuscript Icelandic literature, the trustworthiness of which it serves to assure. Two fea tures of the work must have special notice here. First, it has handed down to us knowledge of Vineland's cultivable plants, partly obscured in the Icelandic tradition. Vine land wa's remarkable for its Wild grape-vine (cites spouts hascuntur), and also for its Corn of Spontaneous Growth (fmges non seminatw). Secondly, we must bear in mind, that Adam merely speaks of the discovery of Vineland, not, as in the case of Greenland, of its colonization and the introduction of Christianity; this quite agrees with the Icelandic tradition, according to which Vineland, soon after its discovery, was abandoned by the Norsemen with out being colonized.
