An Account of the Discovery of Vinland or America by Icelanders

Henri Mallet's Account of the Discovery of Vinland or America by Icelanders appeared in translation in an American periodical in 1789, summarizing key saga narratives about Norse voyages.

The article contributed to early awareness among American intellectuals that Norse explorers may have reached North America.

Mallet's synthesis drew on saga material and advanced the idea that Norse Greenlanders discovered and possibly settled parts of northeastern North America.

While not a comprehensive modern study, the translation played a role in stimulating transatlantic interest in medieval Icelandic sources related to exploration.
