"The History of Lapland" by Johannes Scheffer is a historical account written in the late 17th century. The work delves into the culture, customs, and social structures of the Laplander people, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of their way of life. It explores various aspects, including their origins, names, habitat, and belief systems, highlighting the unique characteristics of this northern community. At the start of "The History of Lapland," the author introduces the various names by which the region and its inhabitants are known, such as Lappia and Lapponia, along with discussions on their etymology and the historical references of these terms. Scheffer narrates the geographical situation of Lapland and sketches its harsh climate, describing how it affects the lifestyle and the resilience of the Laplanders. The opening chapters set the stage for a detailed examination of the region's peculiarities, shedding light on the Laplanders' origins, their interactions with neighboring cultures, and the significant environmental factors that shape their daily existence.
