Physical Description
Paper.
Foliated in dark ink in top right-hand corners of recto pages. Wrong foliation on fols 210r-221r crossed out.
Catchwords on fols 1v, 11v, 27v, 29v, 30r, 31v and 32r, then on every tenth page from fol. 41v to 141v and 159v to 199v, and on fol. 210v.
Written in one column with 24 to 32 lines per page. Running titles. Spaces are left open for initials and to indicate lacunae in the exemplum.
The manuscript has suffered much damage. Fol. 22 must have been lost and replaced before Árni Magnússon acquired the manuscript. The subsequent 13 leaves, fols 23-35, have lost varying amounts of text on account of damage to the margins; none of these leaves have an original inner margin intact. The remaining leaves all show some sign of decay, but only on fol. 150 there is damage to the text. During restoration at Birgitte Dall's conservation workshop in 1963-66, some letters at the beginning and end of lines have been obliterated in the process. There is a lacuna after fol. 159, and fol. 209 is an addition from the seventeenth century. The bottom half of the blank fol. 84 is cut away.
The bulk of the manuscript is written by Jón Erlendsson except for the lacunae that have been filled out in later hands. Jón Erlendsson, who was the vicar at Villingaholt not far from Skálholt, copied manuscripts from bishop Brynjólfur Sveinsson.
Here and there Jón Erlendsson added a comment in the margins, e.g. fol. 83v: Epter er enn mikitt skard og | skalli j Sógvnne. and fol. 136v: Hier giet eg ecke leseð | kalffskinna skridduna | sókumm sorta. enn Bær.jall | missti hofvded j þeßu ein|Vijgi.
On fol. 84v a note has been added and later crossed out: Þessa Søgu book hef eg vnder skrifadur feingid | Erlegum manne til fullkomlegrar eignar gijsla | ärnasine Enn þo er hun enn nu o betulud [!] til merkis | mitt nafn vnder skrifa [!] 1687 þann 17 September | finnur þorarinzson m.e.h. It has not been possible to identify these persons.
A former cardboard binding with a table of contents on the front is kept with the manuscript. The table of contents does not include Þjalar-Jóns saga and Flóvents saga, the stories that were once catalogued as KB Add. 18 fol.
Now the manuscript is bound in a modern standard BD-binding.
