Note 080
Listen to the exultations of Adam of Bremen,(A.D. 1080,) of which the
substance is agreeable to truth:
Ecce illa ferocissima Danorum, &c., natio ..... jamdudum
novit in Dei laudibus Alleluia resonare ..... Ecce populus
ille piraticus ..... suis nunc finibus contentus est. Ecce
patria horribilis semper inaccessa propter cultum idolorum
... praedicatores veritatis ubique certatim admittit, &c.,
&c.,
(de Situ Daniae, &c., p. 40, 41, edit. Elzevir; a
curious and original prospect of the north of Europe, and
the introduction of Christianity.)
