Summary

Description
English: An example of a page from the Flatey Book, containing a part of chapter 93 of the Orkneyinga saga.
Date
English: This image dates from sometime before 1887. The Flatey Book dates from the 14th century.
Source
English: A scanned image from: Vigfusson, Gudbrand, ed. (1887), Icelandic sagas and other historical documents relating to the settlements and descents of the Northmen on the British isles, 1, London: Printed for Her Majesty's Stationery Office, by Eyre and Spottiswoode. This image appears as the second plate between pages xxxvi and xxxvii. The description of the image is given on page xxxvi (named plate 3 on this page, since it is the third illustrated plate in this book): "An example of the hand of Magnus Thorhallson from the Flatey Book. Owing to the shrinkage of the vellum, it does not quite do justice to the beauty of his writing. The piece given in facsimile belongs to Chapter 93 of the Orkneyinga Saga".
Author
English: See 'source' above. The actual handwriting is that of Magnus Thorhallson.
