Árni Magnússon: OwnerAccording to AM's note on fol. 60, this MS once also held "Ragnars
Saga". It also states that
Árni Magnússon acquired this manuscript before
AM 281 4to ("bók
Sigurðar Björnssonar
lögmanns"). Fols. 55-58 might indicate that AM had originally received fol. 58 as a sample of the
contents of AM 597 b 4to, whose owner he did not initially know.
