The Oera Linda Book: From a Manuscript of the Thirteenth Century (1876)

J G Ottema

The Oera Linda Book is a historical manuscript that was allegedly written in the 13th century, and was translated and published by J.G. Ottema in 1876. The book claims to be a record of the ancient Frisian people, who lived in what is now the Netherlands and Germany. It covers a wide range of topics, including the creation of the world, the history of the Frisian people, their laws and customs, their religion, and their interactions with other cultures. The book is controversial, as some scholars believe it to be a forgery, while others argue that it contains valuable insights into the history and culture of the Frisian people. Regardless of its authenticity, The Oera Linda Book remains an important text for those interested in the history of the Frisian people and their place in European history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
