ABSTRACT
In addition to this, King Magnus had put together from all the country’s books that which he considered best suited, with the advice of the best people, and he had this book written, and he went in person to the Gulathing assembly and had it read aloud there, and there he gave the assembly delegates the book, and enclosed was the law amendment – which is not the least significant – that from now on and for eternity, this book is to be valid in all of Norway, preserving the kingdom’s honour, with the provisions previously mentioned. If any of his rightful descendants consider some of it in need of improvements, this person is to arrange this so that God receives honour from it, he himself salvation, and that it is useful for those who must abide by it. It may occur that more law amendments are found in this book than only those mentioned here, if prudent people carefully analyse this book and the previous one.
