This historical chronicle explores the legendary origins of the Frisian people. Written in the eighteenth century, the text presents significant challenges for modern learners of Dutch. You will encounter archaic spelling, complex sentence structures, and a vocabulary rooted in older administrative and narrative styles. The narrative focuses on the migration of Frieso and his followers, blending myth with historical accounts. It is a demanding read that requires patience, as the long, winding sentences often require careful parsing to understand the underlying historical claims.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 9 h 17 min at a native pace, spread over 41 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
