CodexPaperiii, 446, iii320mm x 200mmTwo different watermarks: A small watermark in the shape of coat of arms with a crown on the top and a water lily in the middle, and the letters "LG"; A larger coat of arms held by two lions, with a crown above.Contemporary pagination: Paginated by the scribe in the upper outer corner. The item on 561-755, Konungs skuggsjá, has a separate pagination 1-192, which has been crossed out and substituted by a continuous pagination of the larger manuscript.Good: The manuscript is in excellent condition. It shows few traces of use, since the paper is relatively clean, and there are very few marginalia.260mm x 165mmThere are underlined or ticked catchwords on almost every page. The appearance of catchwords is somewhat irregular.Ólafur Gíslason Mála-ÓlafurKurrentSole
