It is with feelings of admiration and almost humility that a reader/reviewer approaches Forrest S. Scott's edition of the four vellum manuscripts of Eyrbyggja saga, the fruit of half a century of information gathering and laborious preparation by Scott and staff members of The Arnamagnaean Institute in Copenhagen.
