NOTES
shows that this height (22^4 ells) must be from floor to roof-
beam and not the height of the walls, as is assumed in Safn til
sogu Islands V 6, 199.
606 tempestate collapsum: In Kane. Brevb. VIII 879-80 (2/1
1588) there is printed a royal missive to Christoffer Valken-
dorf, Governor of Iceland, in which he is ordered to see to the
provision of a cargo of timber for Bishop GucSbrandur, who had
requested it in order to repair his cathedral, damaged by gale and
earthquake. This must refer to the same event as here, and with
it also agrees SkarSsårannall, which speaks of an earthquake in
1584, though without a precise reference to the locality. AJ’s
failure to mention the earthquake may be because the gale had
been the chief cause of the collapse of the tower. Cf. on this point

1951, pp. 81-3.
