Add 5 fol. (now in the Royal Library, Copenhagen),
was written in the second half of the 18th century and,
according to a slip inserted in the MS, copied from AM
65 fol. ,
A note on a slip gives the same information about
Nks 1153 fol., that was written by the same scribe and
also contains HÞ. In this MS, after the list of contents
on the final page, stand the words, “Alle udcopieret efter
een bog i Folio som Hr. Brinjolver Svensen har ladet
sin librarius afskrive efter Codex Flateiensis. No. er i
A. Magnæi Bibliotheque ibland Folianter 65”. The
statement that AM 65 fol. was copied from Flateyjarbók
is only partly correct (cf. Á.M. Levned og Skrifter II
141-42) and does not apply to the HÞ text.
Kall 260 fol. was also written by the same scribe as
Add 5 and although no statement is made as to its
source, it would seem to be closely connected with AM
65 fol.
AM 326d 4to dates from the end of the 17th century. >
It contains nothing but HÞ and this occupies 16 leaves,
ending, as Gks 1006 fol., with the words framm um
jolinn.
ÍB 62 fol. has been described by Jón Helgason (cf.
Byskupa Sggur, Det Kongelige Nordiske Oldskriftselskab,
Copenhagen, 1938, 54) as “et stort sagahaandskrift fra
18. aarhs. sidste halvdel, indbundet i “Krambod Bog for
Flatöe Handel 1799” (rygtitel) og har som smudsblade
nogle handelsregnskaber. Haandskriftet har 1851 til-
hort D(aði) Níelsson (f 1857), en bekendt autodidakt og
samler, og 1869 (ifolge en indlagt seddel med Jón Sigurðs-
sons haand) “Baldv. Stephánsson prentari”. The heading
to HÞ is Af Hemingi Aslmks syni so mikit sem fast kann
and it occupies pp. 474-88, ending at the point framm
vmm jölinn.
AM 326a 4to was written by Ásgeir Jónsson (f 1707).
It contains a note in Á.M.’s hand, “Ex codice membr.
