[Scriptoris] Scriptoris Digest, Vol 67, Issue 1

[beau dumesnil]

try the Gesta Danorum (History of the Danes) by Saxo Grammaticus, or the complete Skald-ic Sagas of Snorri Sturluson...There was also a Danish monk turned Saint that wrote a complete encyclopedia of natural history in the 11th or 12th c.   Cannot remember his name though to save my life...if I find it I will forward to you...Hope this helps, Ld Biau-douz de la Mere
