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

A model for early 18th-century Icelandic handwriting. It was trained on a handwritten manuscript, JS 83, Hagþenkir from 1731. The base model was Icelandic late 18th-century (experimental). The author and scribe was Jón Ólafsson (1705–1779). The script is Kurrent and numerous abbreviations are used, such as ‘f’ = ‘fyrer’ and ‘ꝥ’ = ‘þad’; these have been expanded in the transcription. The vowels with double acute, a̋ and ő, and with diaeresis, ï and j̈, are retained, but ỏ and ø have been standardized to ö. The model should also be useful for transcribing other handwritten texts from the 18th century.
