Arinbjarnarkviða — A transcript from Árni Magnússon.
Keywords: Arinbjarnarkviða, Möðruvallabók, Árni Magnússon.
the only medieval source of the tenth-century poem Arinbjarnarkviða is a page
in the fourteenth-century manuscript Möðruvallabók. this page can no longer be
read without technical aid and then only partially. Most of it was transcribed in
the late seventeenth century, however. until recently, it has been assumed that
a transcript in AM 146 fol., written in norway around 1690−97, is the oldest
transcript of the poem. Another, slightly longer transcript does exist however in ÍB
169 4to. the author has recently argued that this is the oldest transcript. In 2010,
Michael Chesnutt, as an explanation for the missing text in AM 146, proposed
that a shorter version of the poem had been prepared and sent to norway by Árni
Magnússon, who doubted the authenticity of the longer version of the poem. In
this article, it is argued that the remains of a third seventeenth-century transcript of
Arinbjarnarkviða in AM 554 f 4to supports Chesnutt’s explanation. this transcript
can be dated to 1687−88.
