The passages 344-46 and 351-52 derive from KrR
III 13-21.
357-72 The section that treats of the three rods’
growing together is a prose rendering of KrR IV
20-46. In 360-61 there is some material of Leg.
type which does not derive from KrR, see p. lxxxiii.
373-85 The description of the Temple and its
measurements are taken from Itinerarium’s section
on “Den hellige Tempels vdi Jerusalem Bescriffuelse”,
pp. 4-9.
385-400 This section about the workers on the
Temple and Solomon’s wealth is an excerpt from
Þorláksbiblía, I Kings 4, 5, 6, 10 and II Chronicles
2 and 9. The list of the amounts of provisions which
Solomon’s court consumed each day (393-96) is not
found in Chronicles. It is said in 390-92 that the
building of the Temple was begun 2923 years after the
Creation and 1027 years before the birth of Christ.
The dating agrees with that in a marginal note to
I Kings 6.
400-4 One large tree is needed to complete the
Temple. The lines are a prose rendering of KrR IV
49-58, 37.
404-9 Leg. This story about David in the wilderness
occurs much later in B Leg., at a point corre-
sponding to C 537. — 408-9 og2-sagt have been added
in explanation by the compiler of C.
409-40 The tree proves to be useless as timber
and is laid down beside the Temple. A woman called
Maximilla, whose raiments catch fire on coming into
contact with the tree, prophesies about Jesus Christ
and is stoned to death for blasphemy. The passage
is a prose rendering of KrR IV 59-V 29. There is a
single addition from another source: In 437 the bog
across which the tree is laid as a bridge is called
“Proxalia (error for Probatica) edur Betesta”. The
