Snorri's own [contributions were] the great collections of the Sagas of the Norse Kings called Heims Kringla, first published in full in 1697 in the original Icelandic, with translations into Latin and Swedish, edited by Johann Peringskild ... [T]here are early accounts of the western voyages of Erik the Red and Leif the Lucky and the early settlements in 'Vinland', as the Norsemen called the north-eastern coast of the American continent ... Snorri's work is the stem and source of the legend of the Norsemen: a legend which is still present today"; Sabin 85484.
