The Discovery Of Muscovy

The book chronicles the 9th-century voyages of Scandinavian sailors Ohthere and Wulfstan to what is now Russia. Their adventures, recorded by King Alfred of England and later compiled by Paulus Orosius, offer a fascinating glimpse into early exploration. Richard Hakluyt's translation revitalizes these historical accounts, capturing the essence of their remarkable journeys and the cultural exchanges of the time.
