Skráningarfærsla handrits

Light brown, blind-tooled leather binding showing traces of clasps. In the center on both the upper and lower boards are motifs from the Bible with reference to the legal content of the manuscript. The motif on the upper board portrays the Fall with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The seprent is wrapped around a branch of the tree from which Eve picks the forbidden fruit. With her other hand she hands a piece of the forbidden fruit to Adam. Underneath the image are the words ingrediencia unius pec[cantis] (Beginning of the first sin). The motif on the lower perm portrays The First Murder. Cain is seen brandishing a sword above his brother Abel, while in the upper corner the face of God is seen looking down on the event. Underneath, in High German: Das Blvt deines Brvde[rs] schreit zu mir in Himel (The blood of your brother cries out to me in Heaven).
