There are also a number of appendices which contain magical material from other Icelandic books of magic as well as spells from other Germanic areas..
This is followed by the translation of the Galdrab k itself with copious explanatory notes.
The text consists of a substantial topical introduction that covers the history, theory and practice of magic in Iceland in the medieval and early modern periods.
