'Cento HistoricoPhilologicus ex antiquis libris Islandicis consutus', a large number of words and phrases excerpted from Icelandic historical and legal treatises, usually with a Latin interpretation, written chiefly in about 1720-1740 by Jonas Thorkilsson
. The writer of the greater part is Jonas Thorkilsson of Skalholt, but there are later additions. A full list of the sources of the glosses, etc., is in the printed catalogue. At fol. 2v are short lives of the masters of the school at Skalholt, begun by bp. Odd Einarsson (to 1626), transcribed and continued to 1728 by Jonas Thorkilsson. A probably unique MS.
