Saga af Fídes, Spes ok Karítas I
The following is an edition of the legend of Saints Faith, Hope, and
Charity as presented by Stock. Perg. fol. no. 2, AM 235 fol., and AM 429
12mo. The former half of the legend is based on AM 235 fol. with correc-
tions and variant readings from AM 429 12mo.17 The latter half is based
on Stock. Perg. fol. no. 2 with variant readings from AM 235 fol. and AM
429 12mo (as far as it goes). Abbreviations are expanded in accordance with
the normal spelling of the scribe. Expansions of abbreviations by means
of a supralinear symbol or letter or by means of contraction are marked in
italics. Expansion of abbreviations by means of suspension is marked in
parentheses. Words or letters now illegible but assumed to have originally
been in the manuscript are printed in square brackets. Matter never pres-
ent but presumed to have been inadvertently omitted is added in diagonal
brackets. Illegible or now missing letters are indicated by 0000; the num-
ber of zeroes corresponds approximately to the number of illegible letters,
but not possible abbreviations.
