The date may bc tliat of translation, of printing, or of botli; if of translatiou only, then tlie book may liave beeii issued with another by tlie samc translator in 1G11 (see Bibl. Not. I., nos. 3 and 4.) The rendering is that of Bp. Guð- brandur Þorláksson from the Danish original of Bp. Niels Lauridsen Arctander, published at Copenhagen in 1G07 under tlie following titlo (see Bruun, Bibl. Dan., col. 305):—‘Dct hollige Fader Vor i Boner af Scriffton forklarct. Syndekiæden , vdi tolff Lcd forfattet.’ The piece (ff. 12b-13b), from the German of tho lteformor Joliannes Matthesius (1504-15G5), also forms a part of Arctander’s Danish work, but the hymns to be found tliere are omitted in tho vcrsion. 10.

Tlie volume is very neatly printed, and is of considera- ble rarity. Editions of tiie ‘Fifty Passion Hymns.’ The most correct and complete bibliograpliical record of tlio various editions of the ‘Passíusálmar’ of Hallgrimur Pétursson is that which lias appeared, since tlie issuo of ‘Bibliograpliical Notices’ I, iu tho first volume of tlie beautiful momorial edition of the poet’s ‘Sálmar og KvæM’ (Reykjavík 1887), in wliich it occupics pp. 381-38G under tlie titlo of “Yflrlit yfir prentanir sálmanna.” Tho following enuraeration of the editions closely follows that list; an obelisk (f), prefixed to tlio number, indi- cates that the issue has not yetbeen added to the collcc- tion: — lst edition, Ilólar 16GG. — The one just deseribed above, inwhiclithe ‘Passiusálmar’ have no distinct titlo- page, and aro prcceded and followed by hymns writton by Guðmundur Erlendsson. 2d cdition, Ilólar 1671. —In the Ilymmal publisliod in tliat year (ff. 26b-87a); see no. 16.

Björn Þorleifsson (d. 1710), witli an introduction treating, among other tliings, of the art of song, and a preface relating to tlie character of tho edition. Scvcral changes were madc in tho text, and many marginal references to tlie Scriptures inserted, under the special direction of Jón Gunnlaugsson, dean of tho catliedral of Ilólar. Tho edition was sharply criticized. 7th cdition, Hólar 1712.—Soe no. 39. Issuod two years after Bp. Björn’s death.
