(5) Account of the colonisation of Iceland written in 1700, describing the establishment of the Althing and the origin of some of the early laws. This account covers the years 861-1179, but the description of the final year is imperfect. ff. 97-108b.
(6) A fragment of an Icelandic glossary of archaic words, under I, M, N, O, and AU (or Ö). ff. 109-110b.
(7) 'Annales'. A brief chronology from the time of Friðleifr, King of Denmark (a mythical king, supposed to have been a contemporary of Julius Caesar) to the year 1427, followed by a notice of Ketilbjörn the Old and his descendents Ísleifr and Gizr, the first two Bishops of Skálholt, and the foundation of the northern see of Hólar. Imperfect. ff. 111-18b.
(8) 'Copie af Visitatiu Hofdabrecku Kyrkiu Anno 1.755'. A report of the state of repair of the church at Hofðabrekka in Myrdalr in South Iceland, 29 September 1755. ff. 1 19-120.
