Note 579 — INDEX. (continued 2)

There are various editions, of which the best is called that of Copenhagen, 1843. The Islendingabók, a sort of epitome of a lost historical narrative, is considered an introduction to the Landnámabók. Much of the early story will be found in Latin in the Islenzkir Annáler, sive Annales Islandici ab anno Christi 803 ad anno 1430 (Copenhagen, 1847); in the Scripta historica Islandorum de rebus veterum Borealium, published by the Royal Soc. of Northern Antiquaries at Copenhagen, 1828-46; and in Jacobus Langebek’s Scriptores Rerum Danicarum medii ævi (Copenhagen, 1772-1878,—the ninth volume being a recently added index).
