Annotation

The transmission of Egils saga and the manuscripts on which it is preserved. Jón Helgason criticises Finnur Jónsson’s decision to disregard paper manuscripts in his edition of the saga (1886-88) and makes the case for the value of these manuscripts. A detailed discussion of manuscripts AM 463 4to., AM 560 4to. and AM 458 4to. in support of this argument.

Lýsing

Um varðveislu Egils sögu og Egluhandrit. Jón gagnrýnir Finn Jónsson fyrir að gefa pappírshandritum sem geyma Egils sögu engan gaum í útgáfunni sinni (1886-1888) og færir rök fyrir gildi þeirra. Máli sínu til stuðnings fjallar hann ítarlega um pappírshandritin AM 463 4to., AM 560 4to. og AM 458 4to.
