"On the front flyleaf is written ‘quondam e libris Skulonis Theodori Thorlacii, | Islando – Dani.’ That is, the manuscript was once in Skúli Thorlacius’s library; it may have got there vial Grímur Thorkelín (see Ólafur Halldórsson 1967). [...] Nowhere in the manuscript is it stated who wrote it, but it was probably Eggert Ólafsson (1726-1768), who matriculated from the school at Skálholt, studied at the university in Copenhagen and was employed by the Arnamagnæan Commission. As part of his duties he travelled in Iceland during the years 1752-1757. 21.5.2 is written in the same hand as [Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Preussischer Kulturbesitz: Ms. germ. qu.] 329, which according to a letter with it was probably written by Eggert."
