CodexPaperv, 441, ii330mm x 210mmPaper with different watermarks: a jester with three circles above his
head; two lions holding an emblem; a lion within a decorated circle. Fols
342-343 have a different watermark and were probably added at a later
point. On fol. 11r the watermark is drawn with pencil.Note: Fols. 35v-36v, 143v, 177r-v, 197v, 331v, 353v, 395v are blank.Foliated: Each tenth leaf is foliated in pencil in the top-outer corners, starting with fol. 1,
in addition to either the first or the last leaf of an item. Fol. 144 was
wrongly foliated as fol. 145, and all subsequent leaves are misnumbered. Fols. 1-35 are also
paginated in the top-outer corners, and there are other, rather random paginations in the
outer-bottom corners on some of the front fly-leaves and first few pages.Good: The corners of the leaves are brittle and some are dog-eared and torn,
although with no loss of text. Fols. 1-2 were added to the manuscript later to
fill a lacuna. Fol. 3r is darker than other pages, probably because it was the
foremost page for some time before the lacuna was filled with fols. 1-2 and before the
manuscript was bound. The blank bottom half of fol. 331 and the lower parts of
fols. 340 and 341 (with loss of text) were replaced with leaves in contemporary
times because of damage. The torn inner corner of fol. 344 is glued to the
leaf, with minor loss of text. On fol. 432 there is a tiny burn hole in the
blank outer margin.270mm x 80mmNote: Planned to be written in two columns, but only the inner column contains text. The outer
column was left blank, presumably for a translation. Written area folded and sometimes
grooved vertically down the middle.Note: Initials usually run over two lines, but sometimes over one or three. Lines for chapter
headings sometimes grooved.Catchwords with a flourish on all pages except at the end of an
item.Arngrímur JónssonUnknownMajor

- A lot of corrections to the spelling and grammar have been made, mostly þ in medial and final position were corrected to d, or ll to rl, or e to je/ie (e.g. þer to þjer/þier). Sometimes a reading was crossed out and a variant reading added by a different hand (Guðmundur Ólafsson - based on a comparison of the correction on fol. 417v:14 in chapter 12 with corresponding text passage in R 706), or an omitted word or phrase was added.

- In many instances marks have been made in the margins to draw attention to some text passages or words, e.g. weapons or place names.
- Fol. 77r, right margin: "NB Vid Sörlers saga star Sviþiod. ergo skáne", in reference to Danmórk in incipit of the item and fol. 396r, right margin in pencil: "vide dest saga sup i danndf, ergo skane", in reference to Sviþiod in incipit.

now the second front fly-leaf and second-last back fly-leaf respectively. The new binding is
also a cardboard binding, covered with marbled paper and with leather spine and corners. The
shelfmark is embossed in golden letters on red background on the otherwise ivory-coloured
spine with gold decoration: "COD. ISLANDICA - PAPP. FOL. N:o
