Reading edition
412The discovery of Iceland is also described in a Latin work written by “Theodricus monachus,” probably toward the close of the twelfth century and bearing the title Historia de antiquitate regum norwagiensium. Nansen dates this work about 1180 (Northern Mists, 1911, vol. i, p. 254). See Hermannsson, Bibl. Sagas Kings, 1910, p. 67.
