The Book of the Settlement of Iceland is a historical book written by Ari Porgilsson and originally published in 1898. The book is a comprehensive account of the settlement of Iceland, detailing the arrival of the first settlers and their subsequent establishment of a society on the island. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part chronicling the arrival of the Nordic people in Iceland and the second part detailing the social and political developments that took place over the centuries. The book provides a fascinating insight into the early history of Iceland, including the development of the Icelandic language and literature, the establishment of the Althing (the world's oldest parliament), and the early conflicts between the different clans and families that settled on the island. Overall, The Book of the Settlement of Iceland is an important historical work that provides a detailed and engaging account of the early history of one of the world's most fascinating countries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
