The second appendix consists of documents relating to the life and violent death of Jón Arnason, Bishop of Hólar 1525-1550, preceded by the genealogy of his mother from Adam downwards; the most important of these documents, viz. the Apology of Dade Gudmundsson for the capture and execution of Bishop Jón Arnason, is printed in Finnr Jónsson, Historia Ecclesiastica Islandiae, ii, Copenhagen, 1774, p. 745. In Add. MS. 11144 (ff. 1-244) this appendix appears in a modified form. On the first flyleaf, at the beginning of the volume, is this entry, 'Ex auctione Biskups Sal. Magistri Jóns Arnasonar possideo. Erlendus Olavius'. Jón Arnason, the author of some works on philology and on ecclesiastical law, was Bishop of Skálholt, 1722-1743. Another entry on the same fly-leaf, dated 1772, mentions the name of Thorsteirn Jónsson. 'No. 38' according to a note on f. 2.
