About this Model

The model is based on the printed version of 'Norges Gamle Love' ('Old Norwegian Law') vol. 1&2 from 1846 and 1848. The type used in the print is both schochisk fractur (main text) and Antiqua (preface and footnotes), and the model should be able to read both. Schochisk fractur is named after the designer, Friedrich Schoch, Ausburg, Germany. The model was made by Therese Foldvik (University of Oslo), and the work coordinated by prof. Anders Winroth (University of Oslo).
