A young German student staying in the monastery guesthouse wants to know
what evidence, apart from archaeology, there is for settlement in Iceland
before 874. I have been able to find nothing in the DHGE and the New
Catholic Encyclopaedia apart from general references to the presence of
Irish monks there in the ninth century. Can anyone help?
