Annotation

This article is a diplomatic edition of the Egils saga fragment AM 162 A γ fol, which has not previously been published in its entirety though it was utilised in the variant apparatus to Finnur Jónsson's edition of the saga from 1886-1888. The fragment is in a rather poor state of preservation, but thanks to ultraviolet photographs it is possible to read most of it. The introduction focuses on the question of dating. Facsimiles of all four pages of the fragment are also provided. In ONP the fragment is dated to 1275-1300, but here it is argued that a dating to c. 1325 is more likely, judging from the palaeographic and orthographic features of the fragment. This dating agrees with that proposed in Finnur Jónsson's edition.

Lýsing

Þessi grein er fræðileg útgáfa handritsbrotsins AM 162 A γ fol sem ekki hafði áður verið gefið út í heild sinni, þótt Finnur Jónsson hafi prentað lesbrigði úr því í útgáfu sinni á sögunni frá 1886-1888. Handritið er fremur illa farið en með aðstoð útfjólublárrar ljósmyndatækni er mögulegt að lesa mestan hluta þess. Birtar eru myndir af öllum fjórum síðum handritsins. Í ONP er talið að handritið sé frá 1275-1300 en hér er því haldið fram, á grundvelli stafsetningar og stafagerðar, að líklegra sé að það sé frá því í kringum 1325. Þessi tilgáta um aldur kemur heim og saman við það sem Finnur hélt fram í sinni útgáfu.
