Notes
383
421-2 fra Saxlandi: These words must have been inserted by A. J.
in explanation, as they are not found in any Edda-MS.
422 eignadist: Written eignadiss.
424 ætt: Written ætte.
425 heiter: Wrong for heita (Cod. Wormianus).
4212 den: Probably a mistake in writing for dengang.
4220'21 å Bragie etc.: See Edda Snorra Sturlusonar, 1931, p. 183.
The passage in question (cf. also the note to p. 455) is now missing
in Cod. Wormianus, but is found in the Laufås-Edda (see the note
to p. 2138"13), for instance in AM 164, 8°, fol. 23 v, AM 743, 40,
fol. 80 r-v and in Resen’s Edda-edition (1665) fol. Gg. 4 r. The
passage in Laufås-Edda does not show conformity with any one of
the Edda MSS. preserved, but in several places conforms with Cod.
Regius and in others with AM 748 II, 40. This circumstance in-
dicates that the text of Laufås-Edda with regard to this passage goes
back to Cod. Wormianus, which in that case in 1609 must have
retained at least one leaf, now lost, preceding the present p. 167.
As Magnus Olafsson also has made use of other manuscripts than
Cod. Wormianus in preparing the Laufås-Edda, this question cannot
be finally solved without a more thorough examination which would
here take us too far.
4225-27 These lines are quoted by Stephanius in Notæ uberiores
p. 17 (wrong page-number 15) with statement of the source, and
by P. J. Resen in his preface to Edda Islandorum, 1665, fol. i 3 r,
where he States that they derive from a letter from A. J. to Worm,
which Villum Worm has lent him (cf. the introductory note to no.
21). Ibid. fol. i 4 r-v the passage 42 25'34 is included almost verbatim.
4229 Rhaimundi: Who is meant by this is uncertain, possibly
the Westphalian monk, Raimundus Saxo, who at the beginning of
the seventeenth century wrote, among other things, Officium missæ
et expositio sacrorum verborum canonis.
4231 Plinius: Nat. Hist. XXXVI 13.
431-16 The verse, like the following on pp. 44-47, derives from
the so-called Fourth Grammatical Treatise in Cod. Wormianus,
where all these verses are found in the same succession as here. See
Den tredje og fjærde grammatiske afhandling i Snorres Edda, 1884,
pp. 136-39 and 272-78. That they derive from that source appears
with certainty from the verses on pp. 45-47, which are found in Cod.
