LandnmabkLandnmabk (the book of settlement), is one of the strangest of the works of Icelandic literature. It contains messages about the discovery of Iceland and of the settlement (landnm) and the settlers (landnmsmenn) from territory to territory and from settlement to settlement. They begin with Inglfur Arnarson's claim of Reykjavk and further claims to the north, west, east and south. It then deals with the descendants of the settlers and it traces most families and their important events into the 12th century. More than 3000 people are covered and 1400 settlements.
