A. How to refer to manuscripts by sigla

This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.

Note that paper manuscripts are distinguished in these lists by the placing of a « after the siglum in question (in ReykholtTimes 2.2 and later as a left guillemot, [opt]-\ on Mac (US) and [alt]-0171 in Windows). Please also note the following abbreviations apply to manuscript descriptions:

fol not fol.; 4° not 4to; 8° not 8vo; etc. Note that ° is the degree sign ([opt]-[shift]-8 on Macintosh computers, Windows [alt]-0176); do not use superscript letters.

Note also that ONP manuscript sigla insert a space between distinct parts of a shelfmark (e.g. AM 757 a 4°, not AM 757a 4°). These spaces must be retained.

There are four possible methods of referring to manuscripts (or, in a few cases, early printed sources) of skaldic verse.
