Járnsíða
Table 1: The Kringla group
1 according to Stefán Karlsson, “the Localisation and Dating,” 140, it is almost impossible to date medieval
Icelandic manuscripts more narrowly than to within 50 years if the dating is based on the script and
orthography only. It should be taken into account that parts of the following discussion, therefore, cannot
be based on secure datings.
