The handbook made available on this site was written during the autumn of 2000 and the spring of 2001 by members of the research group Editing medieval manuscripts at the Centre for Advanced Study in Oslo. It is a continuation of the work initiated by the NorFa network Elektronisk behandling av nordiske middelalderhåndskrifter in the period 1994-1998.

With the exception of a few chapters, the handbook has been edited and written by Odd Einar Haugen, Karl G. Johansson and Rune Kyrkjebø. In addition, the handbook contains contributions from other members of the research group, primarily in the form of text examples and specific tools, such as DTD, XML files, style sheets, fonts, etc. The names of the authors are stated in each chapter or subchapter throughout the book.

A number of colleagues outside the research group have also contributed to the handbook, directly or indirectly. They are mentioned in the preface to the best of our ability, and we would like to thank them for their contributions. We apologize for any omissions in this respect, and will put this right as soon as it is pointed out to us.

In its present form, the handbook was finalised by the middle of June 2001. The work will, however, be carried on by the above mentioned editorial board, supplemented by Matthew J. Driscoll (University of Copenhagen). We hope to publish a revised and extended version of the handbook, including a parallel English version, by the end of 2001.
