Arnam. VII 1-95, cf. above pp. 24-8). From Apotribe it
appears that he corresponded with numerous other scholars in
Denmark and Germany, undoubtedly for the most part in Latin.
But all these letters are lost, as far as we know, except for those
written to Balthasar Meisner (from 1619—22), which have been
traced and are here printed in Appendix II. Nothing is known
of their acquaintance beyond the faet that it must have begun
some time before the date of the preserved letters, see notes to
Appendix II.
5. AJ’s Icelandic Works.
It is not intended to discuss AJ’s Icelandic works in detail, but
only to give a very short survey of the material he has left us in
his mother-tongue. A fuller description of the printed works is
found in Islandica IX and XIV, and AJ’s Icelandic writings are
discussed by PEOl. in Mom. IV 244-5, 256—8, 366, 385-90,
632—42, to whose list a few additions will be made in the fol-
lowing.
AJ had the following Icelandic books published:
1. Biblia parva, Holum 1596. Translated from Latin 1590;
second edn. 1622, see Islandica IX 48, XIV 13.
2. Calendarivm, Islendskt Rijm. Published with A. Musculus’s
Bænabok, [Holum 1597] ; reprinted (somewhat abridged) 1611,
see Islandica IX 54, XIV 14—15; PEOl. Mom. IV 366.
5. Soliloqvia de passione Iesv Christi. Pad er. Eintal Salar-
ennar vid sialfa sig. Holum 1599. Translated (1593) from Mar-
tin Moller’s German work of the same name. Reprinted 1651,
1662, 1677, 1697, 1746. See Islandica IX 62-3, XIV 74-6;
PEOl. Mom. IV 386—8.
4. Hinn stutte Davids Psalltare (a selection of the Psalms of
David). The work was written 1597 and possibly printed that
year, though the oldest known edition is from 1611, issued to-
gether with Musculus’s Bænabok, which appeared first in 1597.
Reprinted 1627 (no copy extant), 1653, 1671. See Islandica IX
55, XIV 76—7; PEOl. Mom. IV 386; AfmæliskveSja til Alex-
anders Johannessonar, 1953, p. 117 ff.
