Stories from the Book of Skarðs. Published by Ólafur Halldórsson. A selection from the stories of the apostles printed after the Codex Scardensis - Book of Skarðs.
Skarðsbók is the name of two ancient Icelandic parchment manuscripts.
The Skarðsbók Jónsbókar is a law manuscript, which contains the Book of Jons and some legal amendments. The manuscript states that it was written in 1363. It is believed that the manuscript was written in Helgafellsklaustur, and that the author was Ormur Snorrason, a lawyer in Skarður on Skarðsströnd. The manuscript is in the Árnasafn Museum, and has the collection number AM 350 fol.
The Skarðsbók apostolsagana was long owned by the church at Skarður on Skarðsströnd, but disappeared from there around 1820. The manuscript later turned up in England and was privately owned there. It was sold at auction on November 30, 1965 and was purchased for the country by the Icelandic banks and given to the Icelandic people. It was the first manuscript to be handed over to the Árni Magnússon Foundation in Iceland for preservation, and was given the collection mark SÁM 1 fol.
