    This thesis is based on research that was conducted on fragment α of AM 162 B fol., which preserves Njáls saga. The manuscript has not received enough attention in previous scholarship. The thesis contains a full diplomatic edition of the text alongside with a detailed analysis of the manuscript.The main aim of this thesis was to set a possible date of the manuscript’s writing based on an analysis of the palaeographical, phonological, and orthographical features of the fragment in comparison with other medieval manuscripts which themselves have well-established writing dates.
    Additionally, the textual transmission of the text preserved in the fragment was examined to review the relationship between α and other manuscripts that preserve text which corresponds to that of α. With the use of the software programmes Pars and Draw Tree, the first unrooted-stemma of chapter 8 of Njáls saga was prepared. This establishes the basis for further research on the transmission of this part of the saga in post-medieval manuscripts. The edition presents the fragment’s text on three different levels. The first level is the facsimile level, where all special signs and the layout of the text are reproduced as close to the original as possible. On the second level, the diplomatic level, abbreviations are expanded and no special signs are reproduced. The third level gives a normalized spelling of the text according to the orthography of Classical Old Norse.
