Dictionary

Dictionaries often use multi-column layout to

save space, and running headers indicate
keyword entries on that page. Notice how
letters are rotated and shown on tabs on the
side of right pages. The fonts used in the PDF
version are Satyr and Faunus, made by
Monokrom. Archive.org has a scanned copy of
the printed edition of this Old Icelandic

At the time, the descending "s" was
in fashion and this reconstruction
uses the 'text-replace' property to
recreate the original printed book
(Archive.org has a scanned copy).
