GRIPLA20 (1983:70–71). The script of the fragment bears striking resemblance to our Hand B, and there seems every likelihood that he was indeed the scribe.11 The recto side of this gradual leaf was originally left blank, but it was later used to record the Höskuldssta›ir inventory of 1395, a fact which naturally suggests that the gradual was once the property of the church there. I have elsewhere concluded that Hand A worked in the north of Iceland, (Jakob Benediktsson 1980:11–12) and the evidence for that finding need not be repeated here. I may however add that AM 657 a–b 4to was a book that be- longed to the church at Bólsta›arhlí› in Húnafling, and that, as we have just seen, the gradual leaf in AM dipl isl fasc V 12 belonged to Höskuldssta›ir, another church in the same district. It may further be noted that both the Jónsbók manuscripts in which Hand A appears were in North Iceland around 1500. It is obvious that the scribes of 227 worked in a place where a group of men were busy with book-production and had artists at hand. They supplied a variety of patrons with a variety of books, secular and religious, service-books among them. Gu›björg Kristjánsdóttir drew the natural conclusion that the centre where these codexes were produced was one of the more prominent clerical establishments, with the Benedictine house at fiingeyrar her first choice: as noted above, two books in the group belonged to churches, and those churches were both in Húnafling, the district in which the fiingeyrar monastery was also situated. To return to 227. It was seen above that the existence of the codex cannot be confidently traced to a date before 1588 — in that year it was in Skálholt. It is clear that it always survived in conditions that made for tolerably decent conservation: the vellum of the leaves that were not separated from the codex is still in comparatively good shape. The marginalia indicate that the volume was in the hands of educated men throughout its career, and it can be presumed that it belonged to a clerical establishment rather than to a series of private owners. On these grounds it is understandable that some scholars have decided that 227 must have been permanently in Skálholt (Seip 1956:8,16; Jakobsen 1965:53), a conclusion we can ultimately neither prove nor dis- prove. There is on the other hand nothing to show that the codex was made in Skálholt, as some commentators have maintained (cf. Jakob Benediktsson 1980:11). Its origin in North Iceland seems to me manifest, whether it then came to Skálholt bran-new, specifically made for the cathedral, or whether it 11 See Stefán Karlsson (ed.) 1963a:72; 1963b:117–118. Some individual features of letterforms may be noted, „a“, round „s“, and especially „x“ and the et sign.
