   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

Flateyjarbok

One of the largest and most important of Icelandic manuscripts, written about 1390, now housed in Reykjavik. It contains the texts of a number of important kings' sagas, including one about St Olaf, and family sagas, one of which tells of the Norse discovery of America. It takes its name from the island of Flatey off western Iceland where it was found in the 17th century.
