Hagþenkir by Jón Ólafsson from Grunnavík (an 18th century Icelandic model)

Model for early 18th century Icelandic handwriting. It was trained on a handwritten manuscript, JS 83, Hagþenkir from 1731. The base module was Icelandic late 18th century (experimental). The author and scribe were Jón Ólafsson (1705–1779). The script is kurrent and numerous abbreviations are used, such as ‘f’ = ‘fyrer’ and ‘ꝥ’ = ‘þad’ which have been suspended, and the aim is to suspend them. The vowels with double acute, a̋ and ő, and with diaeresis, ï and j̈ are kept, but ỏ and ø have been standardized to ö. The model should also be useful for transcription of other handwritten texts from the 18th century.
