minor or understandable from the way the name is
written in A. In other cases 1708 and 246 do not agree:
Malilæus 1708—Malcher 246—Malcheus A; Barilld 1708
—Barit 246, A; variens 1708---f- 246— Wariens A.
That 1708 is independant of both 4859 and 246 is
shown by a number of features—for example, neither the
major omission in 4859 nor those listed above for 246
occur in 1708, and none of the omissions listed above
for 1708 occur in 4859 or 246.
1144
Nks. 1144, “Excerpta úr Saugum”, is, according to the
title page, a copy of AM 576a-c 4to (ca. 1700) and was
written by Th. M. Isfjord (Þorlákur ísfjörð, ca. 1748-81;
cf. Í.Æ., V: 160). On p. 179 is the following note: “Hic
incipit exemplar Lit: C. / N: 576. / scriptum propria
manu A. Magnæi”. ES appears on pp. 188-89. On the
relationship 576-1144-11.158 (next below), see Agnete
Loth, “To afskrifter af AM 576 a-c, 4to,” to appear in
Opuscula III, Bibliotheca Arnamagnæana.
AM 576c is defective, and precisely ES is one of those
now missing. 1144 is thus significant in preserving lost
notes of Árni Magnússon, and for that reason the text
is given in full here. The orthography and punctuation
of the MS is followed exactly.
