THE KING'S MIRROR 71 



writer undertook to prepare the present version of the 

 King's M'irror. The translation is based on the text of 

 the Christiania edition, the readings of which have been 

 consistently followed, except in a few instances where 

 the scribe does not seem to have copied his manuscript 

 correctly; in such cases the most satisfactory variant 

 readings have been followed.
