Skálholt

Certain slight defects in the vellum have existed from the beginning, and there is therefore no material hiatus in the entire text, for the sense of the few indistinct words is either clearly apparent from the context or may be supplied from the sister text of Hauck's book.

In his catalogue of parchment manuscripts, Arne Magnusson states that he obtained this manuscript from Bishop John Vidalin and adds the conjecture that it had either belonged to the Skaholt church or came thither from among Bishop Brynjolf's books.

This conjecture that the book belonged to the church of Skaholt has however been disputed and the place of its compilation at the same time assigned to the north of Iceland.

the saga of eric the red and both texts are included under this title presents a clear and graphic account of the discovery and exploration of wineland the good in this narrative the discovery is ascribed to leif the son of eric the red who hit upon the land by chance during a voyage from norway to greenland this voyage as has already been stated probably took place in the year one thousand after his return to greenland leif's account of the land which he had discovered seems to have persuaded his brother thorstein and possibly his father to undertake an expedition to the strange country this voyage which was not destined to meet with a successful issue may well have fallen in the year following leif's return and therefore it may be conjectured in the year one thousand one about this time there had arrived in greenland an icelander of considerable prominence an old friend of eric's named thorbiorn vifilsen who had brought with him his daughter gudrid or as she is also called he must have arrived before thorstein ericsson's voyage for we are told that it was in thorbiorn's ship that this voyage was undertaken it seems probable that thorbiorn arrived at brattahild eric's home during leif's absence from greenland and if this be true it follows that thorbiorn and gudrid must have been converted to christianity before its acceptance in iceland as the legalized religion of the land for very soon after their arrival in greenland gudrid alludes to the fact of her being a christian and from the language of the saga there can be no question that her father had likewise embraced the new faith the presence of these companions in the faith may have materially aided leif in the work of proselytism in which he engaged upon his return to greenland We are told that Thorbjorn did not arrive at Bratahild until the second year after his departure from Iceland.

Wherefore, if the assumption that he arrived during Leif's absence be sound, it becomes apparent that he must have left Iceland in the summer of the year 998 or 999.

This book I, John Finsen, own, the gift of my deceased father's father, John Bjarnson, etc.

From John Finsen the book descended to his nephew, John Torfassen, from whom that worthy bibliophile, Bishop Brynulf of Skalholt, sought in vain to purchase it, as is related in an anecdote in the Bishop biography.

Farmer John of Flotty, son of the Reverend Torfi Finsen, owned a large and massive parchment book in ancient monacal writing containing sagas of the kings of Norway and many others, and it is therefore commonly called Flotty Book.

This Bishop Brynulf endeavored to purchase first for money and then for five hundreds of land, but he nevertheless failed to obtain it.

She says, "You're the only one I can trust with my final wishes.

When I die, I want you to take my body to Skalholt," a church.

She says, "I want you to give the church a gold ring.

I want you to give your wife, Thuridur, a scarlet cloak that I've set aside for her, and I want you, above all else, to burn the bed furnishings and the silk and the tapestries and the sheets."

Thuridur goes and speaks to her husband, and she says, "You're not going to listen to that rubbish." She puts her arms around his neck and says, "She's just jealous of me.

We have to keep the bed furnishings." And he agrees.

But meanwhile, she's asked to have her body taken down to Skalholt, the, it became the site of the bishopric, didn't it?

Yeah.
