Description
AM 556 a 4to is a manuscript containing the only known surviving copy of the poem Grettisfærsla, as mentioned in chapter 52 of Grettir's Saga (GR). The roughly 400-line poem was scraped from the parchment, rendering all but the incipit illegible. Modern imaging technology has allowed for a nearly-complete recovery of the text, however.
