Finally I wish to express my grateful acknowledgements to the
Arnamagnæan Commission for having incorporated this book in
the Bibliotheca Arnamagnæana and caused the introduction and
notes to be translated into English. The translation has been done
by Miss Annie I. Fausbøll M.A. My special thanks are due to the
editor of the present series, Professor J6n Helgason, who has looked
through my manuscript and given me much valuable advice.
