History

Origin
The manuscript is written in Iceland between c. 1330-1375.
  • Kålund dated the entire manuscript to the fourteenth century ( Katalog I p. 735 ). The manuscript have, however, subsequently been dated more precisely.
  • Fols 1r-45v: 1350-1375 ( Louis-Jensen 1963 p. xxxi )
  • Fols 46r-63v: c. 1330-1370 ( Stéfan Karlsson 1967 p. 26, 28 )
Provenance

Fols 46r-63v, written in a separate hand, were once part of Thott 1763 4to in The Royal Library of Copenhagen.

Acquisition

In AM 435 a 4to, f. 144v, Árni Magnússon tells that this codex (called mutilus et confusus) has kominn fra Biarna Biarnaſyne i Arnarbæle, nockurn part 1699. og nockud sidan 1703.

From the content of the AM-slip it can be inferred that Árni Magnússon got fols 1-2 and 19-23 from Bjarni Bjarnason in 1703: Enn bokina hafde eg feinged nockrum ärum fyrr, af Jacob Lfberg, enn hann af Biarna Bianiaſyne, og hafa þä þesse bld hiä Biarna epter orded.
