Crymogæa

Crymogæa (from Greek Κρυογαια, "ice-land") is a book in Latin written by the Icelandic scholar Arngrímur Jónsson and published in Hamburg in 1609 and again in 1610.

The third part continues the history of Iceland until Arngrímur's time.

[2] Presenting the medieval period as a heroic golden age, followed by a decline into corruption under foreign rule, Arngrímur created an influential narrative of Icelandic history which caused a revival of Icelandic scholars' interest in their past in the 17th century, and even influenced the Icelandic independence movement in the 19th century.

Because of it, Arngrímur became the best-known Icelander among the learned Europeans in the 17th century.

[4] Crymogæa also introduced Norse mythology to the rest of Europe.
