AM 191 fol.

Codex Askabyensis ; the monastery of Askaby in Östergötland, Sweden, 1485-1499

Athugasemd
Although the binding bears the title Gamle | Svenske | Poesier (Old Swedish Poems), the manuscript contains both prose and poems, including rhymed romance, hagiographical biography, chronicle texts and legends. AM 191 fol. is probably a composite manuscript made up of various assorted manuscripts.

Ferill

In the bottom margin of fol. 115r the name EBrenner is written. The name refers to the antiquarian Elias Brenner, at whose auction Árni Magnússon probably bought the manuscript.
