What it is
A history of the northern mission whose fourth book describes Scandinavia, the pagan temple at Uppsala, and lands to the west including Vinland.
Why it lasted
The earliest continental description of Scandinavia and the earliest written reference to Norse settlement in North America.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
