62–69. Proverbia Wiponis.64
71–99. Proverbia Wiponis.65
100. Not among the Proverbia Wiponis printed in PL 142. However, the
first part of the Proverbia Wiponis, roughly corresponding to those
found here plus a handful more, is to be found (according to Heinrich
Hoffmann) in a couple of twelfth-century manuscripts in Austria, in
an order and often with wording which is closer to that of Gissur’s
fragment than the Patrologia Latina version is. In these manuscripts,
item 100 appears among the Proverbia, in the same place as here.66
101–10. Proverbia Wiponis.67
111. Although this is doubtless originally not a single item, it seems to be
presented as one, and it is unclear how exactly it should be divided.
The first couple of lines (“hudarfiordungur ... med ledrum”) are found
in various manuscripts of the Búalǫg determining the relative values
of various items, but I have not been able to identify the rest.68
112. Also found in Gottskálk Jónsson’s miscellany, British Library Add.
MS. 11242, 37v, and among seventeenth-century additions made to
the beginning of the Jónsbók manuscript GKS 3269a 4to, 10r.
114. Disciplina clericalis 2.69
116. From Eiríkr Magnússon’s réttarbót to the Norwegian Landslov, ca.
1280.70
117. Decretum Gratiani, Distinctio VIII, chapter 3: “Mala consuetudo
radicitus est evellenda”.71
119. Despite the attribution, I have not been able to find a corresponding
provision in Sachsenspiegel.72 The same applies to item 131, below.
