Lars Levi Laestadius (1800-1861) was born in Swedish Lapland, of partial Sami ancestry. He became a Swedish Lutheran pastor, ministering to often troubled Sami parishes, and in the 1840s founded the conservative Lutheran revival movement known as Laestadianism. He was also a gifted botanist and member of the Edinburgh Botanical Society. Fragmenter i lappska mythologien appeared in 1844.

Manuscript of a continuation of Laestadius' Fragmenter i lappska mythologien, a study of Sami folklore and myth first published in 1844. The Latin front cover label states that the volume contains the second, third and fourth parts of this work, given to the naturalist Paul Gaimard in 1848. The inside title page includes a brief description of Laestadius' career.
