A Study in Scribal Identification in Fourteenth Century Iceland: A Comparative Philological Analysis of Selected Sections of Holm. Perg. 8vo nr. 10 IX, AM 573 4to, and AM 764 4to

In previous scholarship it has been suggested that Holm. Perg. 8vo nr. 10 IX, AM 573 4to, and Reynistaðarbók AM 764 4to share a common scribal hand. The primary research goal in this study is to either vindicate or challenge the notion of a common scribe using a comparative analysis of paleographic,...
