Some marginalia, e.g. on fol. 155r, where a hand from ca. 1800 wrote: "Denne Bog kan ikke sælges under 6 rixdaler". On fol. 156v a different hand wrote "þetta Er NBott blek o fyrer(?) framann".
Fol. 103 is a small slip added to the manuscript. Recto side reads: "med þvj ad hier hefur so framm ynred(?) ad sem firr seigs", and on the verso side: "hier skrifasr Rÿmur af góngu hrolfë og".

Plain (later)

The manuscript has been rebound. The current binding is a modern standard half binding. The previous binding (marbeled paper with fabric corners and spine) is housed with the manuscript.
