A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present work on theE eligion of theN orthmen is a translation of Nordmndenes ReligionsfokfatninC tI Hedendommen, by the learned Professor Keyser, of Christiania. It was written by him in order to give a more extended publicity to a series of lectm-es on the Popular Life of the ]N orthmen inH eathendom, which he delivered before the University of Norway, and is properly the first of a series upon that subject. In his Preface the Professor says: Not only the growing general interest in our Fatherland sA ntiquity, but also the students demand for a guide to the early history of theN orthmen in some measure adapted to his wants, has at length induced me to publish in a wider circle, what for a series of years I have delivered to a limited one.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
