Þormóður Torfason: OwnerAmbiguous: OwnerTorfi Jónsson: OwnerÁrni Magnússon: OwnerThe manuscript was nr. XVI in Þormóður Torfason's
collection. All sagas and more (see AM 147 fol.) reached Þormóður
in 1685 through a salesman in Eyrarbakki, Andrese Laridtssyne Beck, from séra Torfi Jónsson í Gaulverjabæ, except for the two first
and the last which were given to him by Árni Magnússon. Árni
divided the book in 1720 (see AM 435 b
4to, fols. 9r-10).
