schlecht der Columneser” (1573, p. 1011). In the original Carion, on
the other hånd, the three contending popes are given in the same
order as in O-A, but only Johannes has a number attached to his
name. The new pope is called “Otho de Columna” (1532, f. 158r),
“Ottho de Columna” (1554, f. 238r).
Under “Ano 1416” O-A has “waru aa daugum Petrus Cameracensis
Leonhardus Aretinus Pogius Florentinus Johannes Gerson.” Gerson
is mentioned in Melanchthon-Peucer, by last name only, as the Chan-
cellor of the University of Paris who put forth some articles which
were rejected at the Council (1572, p. 633; 1573, p. 1012). The other
names do not appear in any version of Carion, except that “Leonardus
Aretinus” is mentioned in the Low German edition of 1534 as having
written about Sigismund’s generosity (f. 185r). Leonardo Bruni of
Arezzo (d. 1444) and Poggio Bracciolini of Florence (d. 1459) were
distinguished humanist scholars. I have not been able to identify “Pe-
trus Cameracensis.”
From these comparisons it is apparent that the events dealing with
the period of the emperor Sigismund in Oddverja-Annåll are not likely
to have had their source in the Melanchthon-Peucer version of the
Chronica Carionis, as Storm claimed. If we assume that the original
Carion was also used, there are more details in common, but still too
many discrepancies for us to claim a direct connection between the
Oddverja-Annåll and the Chronica Carionis.
