Written in two contemporary older Gothic bookhands.

Spássíugreinar og aðrar viðbætur

The bottom margin of fol. 61v has a verse couplet, known as Skåningestrofenwritten in a contemporary hand: hauí that skanunga ærliki mææn toco vithar oræt aldrigh æn. The originally blank fol. 62v contains notes in Danish and Latin.

Uppruni og ferill

Uppruni

Written in Denmark in the second half of the thirteenth century ( Kroman 1943 s. 52 ). Kålund's dating: c. 1300 ( Katalog I s. 363 ).

Ferill

Fol. 1r has a sixteenth century note that reads: Istud legisterium Est sedis lundensis . This suggests that the manuscript once belonged to the archbishopric of Lund. Kroman assumes that the manuscript was written in the scriptorium of Lund Cathedral ( Palæografi s. 52 ).
