Kålund, KB, p. 151), a leaf of 32 lines, containing the feast of St.
Thorlak, 23 December (see below, pp. 69-70), and the January feasts
from St. Felix, 14 January, to Sts. Marius et Martha, 19 January. The
January feasts are identical to those of the Missale Nidrosiense 1519,
except that of St. Antonius abb. cf., 17 January, where the ON provi-
des no collect, and where each missal has chosen its own prayers from
the Common of the saints. See Plates 36-37.
Reykjavik Lbs. fragm. 19 (see J. Benediktsson, p. 6) consists of
three fragmentary leaves, formerly used for the binding of the book of
visitations and accounts for the years 1750-1831 of the Church of
Hvoll in Saurbær (Dal.), in the diocese of Skålholt. They contain part
of the Sanctorale from 30 June till 13 July (the feast of St. Margaret,
according to Icelandic use). For the Masses of St. Swithun, the Saints
of Selja, and the translation of St. Benedict, see ON, pp. 361 sqq.
The fragmentary sequences contained in these leaves are:
F. (1): ‘Sollempnitas sancti Pauli’, 30 June (AH 53, no. 205);
‘Precursorem summi regis... En baptista’, for the Octave of St. John,
I July (AH 42, no. 252); ‘Psallat ecclesia mater decora’, for the feast
of St. Swithun, 2 July (AH 37, no. 306).
F. (2) is a narrow strip, containing part of the last two lines of a leaf
and the lower margin. The (presumably) recto side contains a fragment
of the sequence ‘Iubar mundo geminatur’, probably for the Octave of
the Apostles, 6 July (AH 42, no. 312).
F. (3): ‘Sancti merita Benedicti’ for the translation of St. Benedict,
II July (AH 54, no. 35). Though prescribed in the ON, this sequence,
and ‘Psallat ecclesia mater decora’ do not seem to have survived in
other Icelandic or Norwegian manuscripts. See Plates 38-39, with
reproductions of f. (l)v and f. (3)r.
Reykjavik Lbs. fragm. 27 (see J. Benediktsson, pp. 7-8), detached
from the binding of the accounts of the See of Holar for 1692, is a
whole leaf of 32 lines. It contains part of the epistles for the Common
of the saints, and should be inserted before Facsimile 310. See Plate
40, with reproduction of the recto.
A great many leaves belonging to the above-mentioned gradual Jon
Forlåksson wrote for the Church of Gufudalur have been identified in
AM Access. Jon’s gradual has 15 note-lines; see Eggen 2, Facsimiles
219-225, 234-259, 313-316. Two more leaves from it have been
discovered by Jon Helgason (see Eggen 1, Introduction, pp. LI-LII):
