Apart from the writing quality, personally, I found the presentation of the file, the cover image and the posting of it on a site like this big giveaways.

Just for fun, here's a couple of links to real sagas (not that they might not be fiction - we can't be certain) - they're considered some of the best.
Egil Skallagrimsson's Saga
Njal's Saga
I thought it was odd, but I can think of scenarios making it possible. Anyone who can read and write in two languages can translate a document. Probably some extra knowledge is needed for old documents, but who's to say he hasn't got that knowledge? I don't know Mr. Coakley or anything about him.

Should I assume that everything inside a book is a lie because it's posted here? Most books have truth in them, starting with the term 'AUTHOR' describing the person who wrote it.

Thanks for the links, I will probably read them instead.
