Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (1075 - 1076) Adam of Bremen |
| Quotation |
Sclavania igitur, amplissima Germaniae provintia, a Winulis incolitur, qui olim dicti sunt Wandali; decies maior esse fertur quam nostra Saxonia, presertim si Boemiam et eos, qui trans Oddaram sunt, Polanos, quia nec habitu nec lingua discrepant, in partem adieceris Sclavaniae. |
| Translation |
Sclavania, which is the largest province of Germany, is inabited by the Wends, who were formerly called the Vandals; it is said to be ten times as large as our Saxony, especially if one also counts Bohemia and the Poles who live beyond the Oder, since they are hardly different in their speech or customs, as part of Sclavania.
