520			_a"The Pre-Columbian Discovery of America by the Northmen" by B. F. De Costa is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work aims to present the Icelandic Sagas that relate to the Northmen's pre-Columbian explorations of America, shedding light on their voyages, settlements, and interactions with indigenous peoples. Through translations, notes, and introductions, the author seeks to make this important historical narrative accessible to English-speaking readers. The opening of the book sets the stage for discussing the Northmen, particularly focusing on the Icelandic Sagas as key historical sources. De Costa provides a preface outlining his intent to compile relevant sagas while offering necessary commentary to clarify misconceptions. He refers to the significance of these narratives in recognizing the Northmen as early explorers of the American continent, as well as addressing past scholarly works that paved the way for this compilation. The initial chapters hint at an exploration of the Northmen's arrival in Greenland and subsequent voyages to the New World, providing a foundation for the historical narratives that will follow throughout the text.
