Excerpt from The Origin of the Icelandic Family Sagas It would lead us too far afield, were I to enter fully into the subject of family tradition as a whole. For our present purpose we must try to ascertain what qualifications the Icelandic settlers had for developing an art of saga-telling; and here we naturally begin by looking for evidence of family traditions and an art of story-telling among the ancient Teutons.

Excerpt from Bibliography of the Icelandic Sagas and Minor Tales Of the collections given by him to the University Library the Icelandic collection is much the largest. It is also the oldest and perhaps the richest in rare books and editions. Its forma tion was the work of a lifetime, for its beginning was made by Mr. Fiske when a student in the University of Upsala more than fifty years ago. Here he became imbued with a deep and abiding love for the old-icelandic language and literature, and took advantage of the favorable opportunity ofiered by his residence in Scandinavia to collect books in this field. Upon his return to America' in 1853, he became an assistant in the Astor Library, then just about to open its doors under the superintendence of that able and learned librarian J. G. Cogswell, from whom he received valuable training in bibliographical methods. At the same time he kept up his Icelandic studies and gradually added to his Icelandic collection. A description of the collection was given in 1860 in Wynne's Private Libraries of New York, and it was then reputed to be the richest collection of Icelandic literature and history in the country. A later account of the collection is given by M. W. Plummer in the Bulletin of Bibliography for April, 1897; but the fullest description is that given by E. P. Evans in the Beilage zur Allgemeinen Zeitung, 13, 14 Sept. 1896. Since then it has been largely increased and now contains about nine thousand volumes. Some idea of the completeness of the collection in its special field, may be gained from the four numbers of Mr. Fiske's privately printed Bibliographical Notices which contain supplements to the British Museum Catalogue of Books printed in Iceland, and from the Bibliography of the Icelandic Sagas here printed. But a clearer conception of the scope and extent of the collection will perhaps be obtained from the following general description of it, given by Mr. Fiske himself in No. V. Of his Bibliographical Notices. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Location of Helluland, Markland, and Wineland, From the Icelandic Sagas The best known authorities agree that practically all the information that is likely to be obtained on this subject has come to light, and the translation and explanations of the old Saga manuscripts have been de ciphered in a manner that leaves very little room for further enquiry on this subject.

Excerpt from The Northern Saga Few story-tellers are to be compared, for direct ness and Simplicity, with the old Icelandic saga men. In their unforced art and freedom from sophistication they remind us of Herodotus and of the Hebrew historians; while in the width and sweep of their themes they are not unworthy to be set beside Homer himself. There is a peculiar sense of relief when one turns to them after a course of modern realistic and psychological novels. In them we have no probing after motives, no complicated spiritual conflicts. The passions of the heroes are violent, but they are natural. The social life they describe is free, vital, and almost Homeric, and allows full play for those passions to express themselves in act. Disguise and hypocrisy are rare: the men ap pear as what they are. We read these stories, and see humanity as it is when stripped of the trammelling garments of convention.

Excerpt from Icelandic Sagas and Other Historical Documents Relating to the Settlements and Descents of the Northmen of the British Isles: Orkneyinga Saga, and Magnus Saga, With Appendices I incline to refer its composition to the early part of the thirteenth century, and I suppose it to have been composed in the Orkneys. Beyond the names of certain of the kings mentioned in it, there is not a particle of true tradition in it. It cannot be later, for the complex collection to which it is a kind of preface goes back to the middle of the thirteenth century.
