What is now the fifth quire consists of six leaves. Probably all were •
bifolia originally, but the second pair has become separated. 34v
and 35r were originally left blank.
30r–33v: • Trójumanna saga from the middle of ch. 25 to the end
of the saga.
This is in Haukr’s hand, written at the same time as the first
part of the saga.
34r: No rubric (the first words are “Emmatistvs hefir pvr-•
pvralit sem vindropi”)
This is an Icelandic rendering of Bishop Marbodus of Rennes’
Liber lapidum (sections 16, 60, 30, 19, 1, 3, and 17). It is also
in Haukr’s hand, and Stefán Karlsson (1964, 118) dates it to
before 1302.
[34v and 35r were originally left blank but were later filled with •
various jottings.]
35v: No rubric (the first words are “Cicio ianus”)•
This is a guide in Latin verse to the Church feasts in each
month of the year. It is in Hand 8, which Stefán Karlsson
(1964, 118) thinks belongs to one of Haukr’s scribes.
What is now the sixth quire consists of four bifolia. It is in Haukr’s •
hand, of the same date as the fourth quire and Haukr’s part of the
fifth quire.
36r–43v: • Breta sögur from the beginning of the saga to the
middle of ch. 16
What is now the seventh quire consists of four bifolia. It is in •
Haukr’s hand, of the same date as the sixth quire.
44r–49r: • Breta sögur from the middle of ch. 16 through ch. 27
49r–51v: • Merlínusspá from the beginning of the text to the
middle of v. 51 (the editors count this as chs. 28 and 29 of Breta
sögur)
What is now the eighth quire consists of four bifolia. The first and •
last leaves of the eighth quire are now separated, but they were
originally conjoint. The last page was originally left blank, and
nothing seems to be missing between the eighth quire and what
is now the ninth quire. It is Haukr’s hand, of the same date as the
seventh quire.
