Vinland Sagas?

[Eric Alan Weinstein]

I was just wondering if anyone has done any work on
Pynchon's knowledge or use of "The Vinland Sagas".
I came across this doing some research, not on
the great Pynchon, but  on William T Vollman.
The book I have acquired, through the good auspices of
Jeremy Cranswick, is by Magnus Magnusson and Herman Palsson.
Published by Penguin in 1965, it is a translation of
Eirik's Saga and the Graenlendinga saga. The title is
The Vinland Sagas: The Norse Discovery of America.
The Penguin is, I believe, a reprint of a NYU press
U.S. edition.

Hoping for some interesting replies,
