2. List B
This is not currently part of the peer-reviewed material of the project. Do not cite as a research publication.
The second method of citing manuscripts is as shown in List B. List B gives abbreviated sigla, developed by Tarrin Wills, for manuscripts containing skaldic verse neither in List A nor amenable to the abbreviating process described in paragraph 3 below. In List B the standard siglum appears in the left-hand column, with the abbreviated siglum on the right. The reason that the mss in List B cannot be subjected to Method 3 is that, if it were applied, the resulting abbreviated sigla for these mss would not be unique.
