Shown here are 8 lines, the beginning of chapter 3, from f. 1v, column b, of the manuscript AM 235 II 4to, an Icelandic vellum of the early 13th century containing a history of the kings of Norway, written probably in the last decade of the 12th century. It contains numerous abbreviations and a number of unusual letter forms. There is also a single error, where the scribe has written the non-sensical er (is or the relative which) instead of en (but).
