History

Origin

Written in Iceland. Kålund Katalog dated it to the seventeenth century but since Jón Erlendsson served as a scribe from c. 1625-1672 it can be dated more accurately to that period.

Acquisition

According to Árni Magnússon's account on the AM-slip, he borrowed the fragment from Jón Þorláksson in 1709, and bought it from him in 1710.
