Index for The Oera Linda Book, from a Manuscript of the Thir
Summary:
"The Oera Linda Book" by J. G. Ottema et al. is a historical manuscript likely written in the late 19th century. This work claims to provide an account of ancient Frisian culture and history, blending mythological elements with narrative accounts that claim lineage from the submersion of a mythical land called Atland. The manuscript's authenticity is disputed, sparking debates among literary and historical circles. At the start of the text, it is introduced through a preface explaining the background of a very ancient manuscript that had been preserved through generations. Hiddo oera Linda, a key figure, emphasizes the importance of these writings for understanding their heritage and warns against external influences that threaten their customs. Additionally, the introduction comprises an overview of the manuscript's origins, claiming it documents events and traditions from Frisian history, and includes narratives that feature characters such as Adela, who plays a pivotal role in advocating for the preservation of their culture amidst external threats.
