AM 325 XI 2 i 4to

Ólafs saga helga ; Iceland, 1350-1399

Note
Remarkable for this text is an interpolation from Heimskringla, having a few errors in common with Codex Frisianus: the scaldic verses attributed to Þormóðr Kolbrúnarskáld instead of Þórðr Kolbeinsson and the first stanza having ef for ept; yet closer reading shows that Codex Frisianus cannot be the source of the interpolated part.
