Transcript of [Om Nordlyset] (ms, 1748)

Abstract

This file is a transcription of a manuscript [Om Nordlyset] by Lars Barhow (1748), based on photographs made by Per Pippin Aspaas. Formerly located at the institutional archive of The Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, the manuscript is now kept at The Danish National Archives (Rigsarkivet) in Copenhagen, filed under "Arkivskaber: Det Kongelige Danske Videnskabernes Selskab". The transcription was made by Per Pippin Aspaas, by using the Transkribus software as a basis and then manually correcting the computer-generated transcript. The principles of a diplomatic edition have been followed, i.e. no correction of the original has been made, even in cases where it contains idiosyncratic spellings or obvious errors. Unintentional errors may, however, have been made during the transcription process. Exactly the same transcription is found embedded in the PDF of the manuscript, see https://doi.org/10.7557/16.8205.
