"Relation du Groenland" by Isaac de La Peyrère is a historical account likely written in the mid-17th century. This work provides detailed insights into the geography, exploration, and Norse settlement of Greenland, giving readers a comprehensive view of the region's history and conditions during that period. The narrative pivots around the voyages of explorers such as Erric the Red and his son Leif Erikson, who are central to the story of Greenland's discovery and early habitation. The opening of the text introduces the author’s intent to share an account of the Northern territory of Greenland that is steeped in mystery and rich in history. It begins with an advertisement about a map necessary for understanding the narrative, highlighting the significance of maritime navigation and geographic knowledge at that time. The author refers to various explorers, their discoveries, and the attempts to navigate the challenging waters surrounding Greenland, emphasizing the harsh conditions faced during these endeavors. Additionally, it presents an early perspective on Greenland's natural resources and inhabitants, providing a foundation for the exploration and cultural exchange that characterized Scandinavian encounters with this remote land.
