Annales vetustissimi

Annales Vetustissimi (from Latin "most ancient annals"), also known as Forni annalli,[1] Forniannáll,[2][3] or Forni annill is a medieval Icelandic manuscript. It was written until the 14th century; its content spans the birth of Christ until the year 1318.[4] It is archived as manuscript AM 415 4.º (c. 1310).[5] Annales Vetustissimi contains an entry in 1285 that corresponds to one in Flateyjarannáll which has been interpreted as a clear reference to the Americas.[6]
