blasphemed God’s name, “Vmm aflastan Guds nafns.”8 AM 629 4to is the
only textual witness to both of these exempla in Icelandic translation.
2. edition
the two exempla are edited below. Abbreviations are expanded in ac-
cordance with the normal spelling of the scribe. expansions by means of
a supralinear symbol or letter are marked in italics. Matter never present
but presumed to have been inadvertently omitted is added in diagonal
brackets. the punctuation follows that of the manuscript. similarly, the
edition reproduces the capitalization of letters, though it is often difficult
to distinguish between capital and small letters, especially a, k, v, and þ.
the catchwords that guide to the next page have not been reproduced.
