Kålund dated the calendar c. 1300; it could hardly, however, have
been written before the second half or even the last quarter of the
fourteenth century. The calendar is really a quarto size, like the psalter
s, and Åmi’s date, ‘satis antiqvum’, could equally well be applied to it.
See Plate 124. Whether this calendar ever belonged together with the
psalter s remains an open question; for good measure we have included
it in our comparative table; see below, pp. 121 sqq.
t
Copenhagen MS AM 209 8°, ff 222r-224v. Åmi Magnusson’s ex-
cerpts: ‘Fra Kalfafellz kirkiu i Fliotzhverfi. Var in 4t0 maiori, vel
rectius in folio’ (f. 224v). ‘In fronte Psalterii Latini in membranå, ante
psalmum 1. Domine labia mea aperies. ..’.
Transcription of the opening versicles and the Suscipe-prayer.
The calendar fragment MS AM 249q fol. I (see Kålund, AM 1,
pp. 231-32) consists of only one leaf, the calendar’s first; the recto side
as usual is the outer cover, and the verso side contains the month of
January. In the outer margin of the verso Åmi Magnusson has written:
‘Frå Kålfafelli i Fliotzhverfi. 1704.’ The size of the calendar fragment
(27x17 cm) tallies quite well with that of the psalter fragment t ‘rec-
tius in folio’. The calendar seems to have been written c. 1400 or
somewhat later. The month of January renders the Nidaros calendar as
found in the ON. See Plate 125.
Na
Oslo Riksarkivet Lat. fragm. 104 (= Ps 4). Twelve leaves of a psalter,
used as binding material for the accounts of Sogn, probably in the
chancery of Bergenhus, in the diocese of Bergen. In the process of
binding, all the leaves were divided horizontally in two equal parts and
the margins partly trimmed. The written space measures 14,5x10 cm,
with 22 long lines to the page. Ff. (1, 3, 8-11) have undepleted texts; f.
(2) is a fragment of 9 lines; the remainder have from 19 to 21 lines.
Na is the work of a ‘private’ hånd, and therefore difficult to date.
The forms of the a and the x suggest a thirteenth-century date, and so
do the plain-style initials. There are no hyphens to indicate the division
of words at the line-ends. Rubrics and verse-initials are written in red;
