1. General conventions

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 Do not cite as a research publication.

i. A superscript roman numeral indicating the volume in which the verse referred to is located should be suffixed to the siglum, e.g. Anon Eirm 3I; Bragi Rdr 7III; Egill Lv 4V.

ii. The volume numbering can be dropped for references to items within the same volume. The sigla should remain unique because of the numbering systems described below.

iii. With the possible exception of runic poetry, all sigla for skaldic poetry will be combined sigla (see 4. below) which include:

- a siglum for the skald’s name, ‘Anon’, ‘Run’ or ‘Þul’
- a siglum for the poem or group of verses or an indication that this is a lausavísa or fragment.
