Skjaldar þáttr Danakonungs ; Iceland or Denmark, 1700-1725
Athugasemd
This short narrative on Skjöldr, king of the Danes, and his enemy, Hermann, existing only in this manuscript, seem to be based on some rímur composed by a Magnús Jónsson (see Lavender 2016).
Árni Magnússon added the following below the title communicerad mier af Magnuse J. ſ. fra Leyraa and further on the fol. 2, which was added later: þetta efne mun vera diktad af ſialfum Magnuſe Jonsſyne, er Rïmurnar girt hefur, hvar ur þetta teked er. After this, a note on Raudur Radgiafe is added.
