Manuscript overview This overview lists all manuscripts from the Arnamagnæan Collection from the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries that are known to have been changed physically according to text boundaries. The overview does not claim to be exhaustive. Instead, it is supposed to be understood as a working tool based on the indications found in the major secondary literature. During the research of the project, I was able to check many manuscripts and update the entries. However, due to the overwhelming number of manuscripts that turned out to be relevant, numerous indications still remain to be verified or need further research. Nevertheless, this overview presents the first systematic register over physically altered paper manuscripts in the Arnamagnæan Collection and will hopefully facilitate future studies. Please note the following principles applied: • Manuscripts are referred to based on their current form and shelfmark. Generally, each manuscript occupies one row in the overview. In some cases, however, parts of the same manuscript are registered on several consecutive lines in order to improve the readability. A note following the shelfmark indicates this fact. • In the first column, shelfmarks are given in their complete form. Where considered relevant for the identification, Roman numerals in accordance to Kålund’s printed catalogue (1889‐1894) are added. In the other columns, shelfmarks are abbreviated as follows: When mentioning parts of a manuscript in the same row, only the codicological unit (CU) and – if different – the Roman numeral are given. When referring to another manuscript, on the other hand, the indicator of the collection is usually omitted for Arnamagnæan manuscripts, i.e. the “AM” in front of the shelfmark. • In the second column, the status of the manuscripts with respect to rearrangement is indicated using the terms dismembered, aggregated and rearranged, the latter meaning that at least one part of a manuscript was both dismembered and re‐aggregated by the same person. Wherever known, the status also indicates if the changes were made under Árni Magnússon (“by AM”) or before him. Later changes are only mentioned where they are known to have resulted in parts being placed with another manuscript number (not counting a separate letter under the same number) or in a different collection. • The third column refers to the shape of manuscripts as indicated in Jón Ólafsson’s catalogue compared to the current contents. For manuscripts that have been studied in detail, this column merely points at the manuscript in question in the section A.4, which contains detailed information. For other manuscripts brief mention is made of the described composition and differences compared to they current state. The note “(as today)” means that the items indicated in the handwritten catalogue agree with the present contents of the manuscript. • The fourth and fifth column indicate the context (if known), in which the manuscript or its parts were found when acquired by Árni Magnússon and prior to that, where relevant. If not stated otherwise, the references in these two columns apply to the “List of former codices (t2‐t3)” (section A.5). • The last column lists the titles of works contained by the manuscripts, in order to facilitate the usage of the overview. Most titles are standardised based on Simek/Hermann Pálsson (2007), but employ modernised spelling. For works not mentioned there, the title used on Handrit.is are followed. However, texts without a proper title are referred to by either quoting the rubric as indicated in the catalogues or giving a brief description (in English). Crossed‐out fragments of texts are not mentioned in the contents‐column, and the contents of different CUs are separated by semi‐colons while the individual texts within a CU are separated by commas. • Information taken from Kålund’s catalogue (1889‐1894) and the works referenced within, the online catalogue Handrit.is and Jón Ólafsson’s handwritten catalogue (mostly AM 456 fol.) is not labelled explicitly. The source of other statements that are not based on my own research is mentioned either directly in the overview or in the relevant section of the “List of former codices”. • A question mark (“?”) indicates suggestions and preliminary assumptions that need further investigation.
