HEIMSKRINGLA is the largest collection of Old Norse and Nordic source texts on the internet – currently some 8800 titles.

HEIMSKRINGLA primarily consists of Eddic texts, sagas, and skaldic poetry, as well as background material and sources on Sami, Finnish, and Greenlandic culture.

HEIMSKRINGLA is based on the belief that these texts – as part of our shared cultural heritage – should be freely accessible to everyone.

Daniel Bruun 2.jpg
Erik den Røde og nordbokolonierne i Grønland
By Daniel Bruun, 1931

Daniel Bruun’s Erik den Røde og nordbokolonierne i Grønland (Erik the Red and the Norse Colonies in Greenland) is an archaeological and historical study of the Norse settlements in Greenland from their founding to their disappearance. Based on Bruun’s own fieldwork and excavations, the book combines archaeological evidence with saga literature, medieval written sources, and topographical analysis. It examines farmsteads, churches, the episcopal seat at Gardar, as well as daily life, economic activities, and contacts with Iceland and Europe. The discovery of Vinland is also discussed. The role of Erik the Red and the gradual decline of the colonies are central themes. The work remains a foundational contribution to the study of Norse Greenland and its place in the medieval North Atlantic world.
