Bishop Þorlákur Skúlason appears to have rendered this homiletic tractate directly from the German as no Danish version is found. There wasa subsequent edition of this translation (Skálholt 1G93) to which wasattached, as an appendix, an extract (Bdk V., cap. 12) of Ph. Nico- lai’s “Speigill eilifz lijfs” froin the version of Bp. Guð- brandur Porláksson (Bruun I. coll. 425, 543 and B. M. Cat. 3 and 7). The collection likewise possesses thelGÍ)3 edition to which the extract of Nicolai’s work was joined, as well as the complete 1G08 edition of that work. 17. Dauids | Psaltare | Aled | Formala D.

Paginal catchwords; no running titles; page-lines 2-1 ; page 12x7; 3-line and 4-line Gothic initials, printer’s orna- ments on f. 2b and f. 68b (preceded by the words Ender GenesisPsaltna.).

He was a hymnologist of great genius and among other similar verse translated David’s psalms into his native tongue (publ. 1GG2 and 174G). These hymns based on the book of Genesis have been frequently reprintcd. l’he present is a good and complcte copy of the first edition, a similar one being in the posscssion of the Rojml Library at Copenhagen (I.ruun I. col. 378). This collection and that of the Bri- tish Museum (sce B. M. Cat., 5) have imperfect co- pies of tlie cd. of Hólar 1G78; while the Copenhagcn li- brary, the British Museum and thepresent collection havc excellent copies of the ed. of Hólar 1753. But Nycrup and Kraft cite (p. G13) an issueof Hól. lG62(and another of 1746), while the lists of thcHistoria Ecclesiastica men- tion (III. 727) editions of Hólar 1664, 1G65 and 1G79. Some of these dates must be errors. The 1753 issue is styled on the title page the fourth. The author in allusion to his tragic death is known in Icelandic history as Jón Písl- arvottur (that is the Martyr). [The collection is in pos- session of a beautiful, illuminated 17th century MS. of the Davids sálmar by Jón Porsteinsson, and also a MS. of these Genesis sálmar. The two M SS. are of different date, but have been bcund in one volume, which on the front cover bears the initials H. S. D. and on the back the date 1GS2. The Davids sálmar MS., the elder one, is all writ- ten by one hand and of a much finer workmanship than the Genesis sálinar MS., which is written by at least two hands and evidcntly with theintention of makingit mntch the earlier MS. There are a few marginal notes in the first MS. in different handwriting from that of the original The volume was acquircd recently from H- H. J. Lynge
