logue of the editor, Hálfdan Einarsson, at the close, in
which he gives several pages of variants. The reprint
moreover received its own pagination the paging of the
text in the Flokkabok being 81-208.— This issue is
styled on the title - page EditioXVI., but is really the
19th edition. See list of editions in Bibl. Not. IV. pp. 5-6.

8.° pp. 5-32; sigs. A—B; catchwords; page-num-
ber centre of page in ornament; page, 13. 5 x 7.1 page-
lines, 30 (second part, 26). This is satd to be the only
existing fragment of this Hrappsey edition of these two
poems. The title - folio, and stanzas 1 - 16 of the Tíma -
Ríma are missing (the title given beingonly amake-shift
one) the second piece is, of course, complete. Many of
the publications of the Hrappsey press seem to have been
issued in small editions. Conienls :— [Title - folio ;
pp. 3-4, containing the Tíma-Ríma, st. 1-16]; [Tíma-
Ríma, stanzas 17-215], pp. 5-24; Skipa-Fregn, Kved-
en 1734, pp. 25-32. The latter poem has in all, 18
stanzas. The whole book is printed, as was then common,
as prose, each stanza forminga paragraph.— Jón SigurÖs-
son (sometimes written Sigurðarson), the author of the
“Tímaríma” died in 1720 (see Jdn Borgfirðingur, Rithöf-
undatal, p. 59) ; he was, like his father, Siguröur Gísla-
son, sýslumaður in Dalasýsla. The father too was a poet
of note, and is known as Dalaskáld (“the poet of the
Dales”). Both were men of high character, and there are
still cited concerning the son some epigrammatic lines
(ascribed to a clever dame of the Dales) :
Situr, vitur, hagur, hýr,
Heiðurs - mennta glaður:
Jón Sigurðsson dáðadýr
Dalasýslumaður.
His poem was printed for the first time in Copenhagen
1772, with “Aunnur Tíma - Rima Kvedin af Joni Einars-
syni lögréttuinanni í Vadlasýslu og buanda ad Hrauk-
bæ” (a second satire on the spirit of the age) ; then in
the edition here treated ; subsequently in the collection
styled “Nockur Gaman - Kvædi, orkt af Ymsum Skáldum
í 18du 01d”, published at Copenhagen by Páll Sveinsson
in 1832, in which it is the first piece (pp, 1-38), and is
followed by the Skipa- Fregn of Árni Böðvarsson (pp. 39-
52);and finally it was issued at Reykjavík in 1884: “Tím-
aríma kveðin af Jóni Sigurðssyni sýslumanni. (Fjórða
prentun)”.— a 16mo of 48 pages, of which 42-48 were
filled by a poem of a very dissimilar sort “Minni Islands
á Þjóðhátíðinni 2. ágúst 1874 eptir Jónas Gíslason”. The
collection possesses all the four editions. 11 is well enough
to note that the Tímaríma, despite its name, does not
belong to the class of rimur (see Bib. Not. V. pp. 22 - 23)
not being of a narrative character, which the true rímur
always are.— The second poem in the unique Hrappsey
issue, “Skipa - Fregn” (“Shipnews”) is a humorous piece
on the incidents attending the arrival of the first ship in
the spring at an Icelandic port after the privations of the
winter and has lost something of its living interest since
Iceland has become accustorned to the coming of ships irom
foreign regions during every month of the year. It is
supposed to have been written by Árni Böðvarsson (al-
though Jón Borgfirðingur states that he has seen it attribu-
ted in one MS. to Gísli Snorrason, who was priest at Oddi
from 1747 to 1780). Árni Böðvarsson (1713-1727) is the
well-known prolific composer of rímur proper. It seems
to be here printed for the first time. It appeared next in
Rask’s “Sýnishorn”, published at Stockholm in 1819, pp.
281 -285, the editor regarding it as perhaps the joint work
of Árni Böðvarsson and of Gunnlaugur Snorrason (d. 1796
at the age of 83), when they were both pupils at the school
of Skálhult. It next saw the light in the “Nockur Gam-
an-kvædi”(1832) cited above, and then in the first edition
of a miscellancous collection of verse entitled “Snót”
(Kmh. 1850, pp. 157-169) and in the second edition of
the same compilation (Rvík. 1865, pp. 238 - 248), but was
omitted from the third edition of “Snót” (Akureyri
1877). More recently it was inserted complete in the col-
lection of student - songs issued by the Society of the
Alumniofthe ícelandic College, “Söngbók hins íslenzka
Stúdentafjelags” (Rvk. 1894, pp. 36 - 38). All the edi-
tions here enumerated the collecdon has.

Finnsson (1739-1796) wasprinted at Leirárgardar 1797(see
Bibl. Not. IV. no. 93). A biographical sketch of him by
Jón Sigurðsson with portrait is to be found in “Ný Fé-
lagsrit” IX. The “Landsuppfræðingarfélag”, of which
Bp. H. Finnsson was among the founders, held a meeting
in memory of the deceased scholar, Oct. 7th, 1796, where
Magnús Stephensen delivered an address, which is found
in “Minnisverð Tíðindi” I. pp. 295 322.
