==Primary sources== * About 965, [[Ibrahim ibn Jaqub]] wrote in [[Arabic]] letters about this city. The transcription might be ''Weltaba'', which corresponds to modern Polish "Wełtawa" meaning roughly a place among waves. * 1075/80, [[Adam of Bremen]] wrote about an emporium on an island in the [[Oder]] estuary, east of his Diocese, where Slavs, Barbarians and Greeks were supposed to live and Saxon merchants stayed for trade. [[Harald Bluetooth]] had once found refuge there. The oldest preserved manuscript, from the 11th century, has the spelling ''vimne'' or {{lang|la|uimne}}, and the second oldest manuscript, from around 1200, has {{lang|la|uimne}} and ''iumne'' or ''jumne'' ([[minim (palaeography)|there is no distinction between v and u or i and j]] in the written Latin of that time). More recent copies of the text primarily use ''Jumne;'' in an early modern print the name is spelled ''Julinum'' and ''Juminem.''<ref name=Schmidt>Schmidt, Roderich: Das historische Pommern. Personen, Orte, Ereignisse (Veröffentlichungen der Historischen Kommission für Pommern, Reihe V, Forschungen Bd. 41), Köln / Weimar 2007, S. 70–72.</ref> * Between 1140 and 1159, three vitae of [[Otto of Bamberg]] were written using the name ''Julin'' for the medieval place located at the site of the later town of [[Wolin (town)|Wolin]].<ref name=Schmidt/> * 1163/1168, [[Helmold of Bosau]] copied almost word for word the respective sentences written by Adam of Bremen. The oldest preserved handwriting of Helmolds chronicle (ca. 1300) has the place spelled {{lang|la|uineta}}, corrected by the copyist to ''iuḿta'' (abbreviation of ''iumenta'' or ''iumneta''). Younger copies use ''Jumneta'' in the text, yet in the header of the respective chapter all copies use ''Vinneta.''<ref name=Schmidt/> * About 1170, the Nordic [[Knytlinga saga]] reported a siege of ''Jomsborg'' by the Dano-Norwegian king Magnus (1043) and a campaign against that place by the Danish king [[Valdemar I of Denmark|Valdemar I]] (1170).<ref name=Schmidt/> * About 1190, [[Saxo Grammaticus]] reported the same campaign (1170) and Harald Bluetooth's earlier stay there, but called the place ''Julin[um].''<ref name=Schmidt/>
