- On fol. 49r the scribe wrote a marginal note in kurrent in the outer margin: "þetta helld eg ofskrifad tvisvar". In a different hand on fol. 51v in the outer margin: "NB" and again vertically: "heidrekur Kongur hygg þu ad gätu Sadge Gestumblindi" Note: The bifolio 47/52 was originally used as a cover for the quire. On the inner side (fols. 52r-47v) events in Copenhagen are described, cf. AM 34 VIII fol. Now there is a new thick paper bifolio in its place, counted as front and back-flyleaf.
