Lhs 4487, 4to
Lbs 4487 4to, like Lbs 4488 4to described below p.LXXXVi, was bought in
1970 as one of a large collection of manuscripts privately owned, and it has
been described in a handwritten catalogue by Grímur M. Helgason. It con-
tains five sagas: Natons saga persiska, Remundar saga Ríkarðssonar, Mír-
manns saga, Marrons saga sterka and Flórus saga ok sona hans.
The gatherings are loose, and are inside an old binding made from card and
leather. Some neat repairs have been made. The first leaf of the first saga is a
replacement.
The first saga has one pagination (1-2 unnumbered, 3-34), and the four
others have another (1-221; 212 is used twice, on the last page of one gather-
ing and the first of another). Moreover the first saga is separated from the
others by the fact that it ends on the last page of a gathering that consists of
four conjugate leaves and one single leaf (which has a modern lap attached to
it), and the second saga begins on the first page of a new gathering. The sagas
are then continuous across gathering boundaries to the end. However, al-
though this may indicate an intention to keep Natons saga separately, the wri-
ter of it is the same person, and has written that it was ‘Endað ... 17 Febrúar’
(no year given), and has written about the second saga that it was ‘Byruð (sic)
þann 17 Febrúar | og enduð þann 27 sama mánaðar 1879’, so perhaps they
have always been together.
Another visible difference between the two parts is that the first saga has
no running title and its pages are numbered in the centre of the top margin,
but the others have running titles and the numbers are in the outer corners.
