Latine scriptum 1638—ab Annalium supra, sub N°. 50 et 51 descriptorum, B. D. Auctore Gislao Oddi, Episcopo Scalholtensi. Autographum ineditum, atque unicum forte jam existens exemplar. Laudata Sciagraphia His- toriæ Literariæ Islandiæ (pag. 168) nominat Auctorem hujus libri His- toriæ Naturalis diligentem scrutatorem, sed nullum tale ejus scriptum commemorat, neque ipsius ibidem, inter Descriptores Islandiæ, mentio fit. Vereor autem ne liber hicce in Catalogo Reseniano (sec. 17mo Havniensi) patri Gislai, Oddo (sive Ottoni) Einaris, similiter Scalholtensi Episcopo, perperam sit adscriptus, ut et Tractatus de Islandia, qui ctiam posterius omnino ignotus permansit; (vid. 1. c. pag. 148.)

Autographum ineditum, eleganter scriptum, et forte unicum jam existens exemplar.
