INTRODUCTION
and its text of this part of the saga is nowhere preserved (the
copy AM 446 4to here uses another source, see Manuscripta
Islandica III, introduction).
20. Flåamanna saga (Vatnshyrna). This saga was used by AJ
in Crymogæa and Gronlandia, see II 222—23®, 8932—904, 1291—
13021, 24418-24532 (cf. III 33625-337s), and notes. Vatnshyrna
was certainly his source.
21. Fostbrædra saga. AJ reproduces part of the saga in Gron-
landia, II 246^2 5 216 (partly repeated in Specimen III 3374-
33822). His source was Flateyjarbåk, see notes to II 24631, 247",
24710-2481.
22. Gisla saga Surssonar. The saga is quoted and named in
Crymogæa (II 9029—914). The passage gives no precise indica-
tion of AJ’s manuscript.
23. Gunnlaugs saga ormstungu. The saga is referred to by
name in Crymogæa, II 2 8 24, and is further used in II 8 927-28,
13325-33. None of the references allows us to decide which manu-
script was used.
24. Hænsa-Påris saga (Vatnshyrna). The saga was used twice
by AJ in Crymogæa, II 5 5 29 35, 67215. The latter passage can only
derive from Hæns., see note ad loc. AJ’s text gives no indication
of the manuscript he used, but there is no reason to doubt that
it was Vatnshyrna.
25. Kjalnesinga saga (Vatnshyrna). Two direct quotations
from this saga are given in Crymogæa, II 3713-19. 29-32^ an(j Qn
both occasions Vatnshyrna is mentioned as the source, cf. notes
to the two passages. The saga is also used in the sections II
5910-14, xi724-30, and again in Specimen, III 23i 24-35, see notes
ad loc.
26. Kormdks saga. In all probability we are correct in suppos-
ing that a marginal note in Supplementum (I 190), which is
repeated in an expanded form in Crymogæa (II 8910-16), is de-
rived from Kormåks saga, see notes to the passages in question.
Nothing can be concluded from them as to AJ’s manuscript. We
may note that, apart from MoSruvallabok (which AJ did not
know), there is only a single vellum fragment of the saga extant
(in AM 162 F fol.), but whether this was AJ’s source or not is
quite uncertain.
