      ab: Both manuscripts are today part of the Arnamagnæan collection and are held in Reykjavík, AM 193 e fol. and AM 587 b 4to, and in both manuscripts, Torfæus comments on the genealogies of the saga characters. Material and textual analyses of the manuscripts preserving I Hrómundar saga i can give us an interesting insight into the contemporary reading of this saga, as well as into the influence the intended audience had on the writing of the saga. Regardless of whether I Hrómundar saga i was actually written by Jón Eggertsson while he was imprisoned in Copenhagen, the oldest manuscript of the saga written in his hand (AM 601 b 4to) came at some point into the possession of Árni Magnússon, as it contains extensive marginalia in the handwriting of both men. It would be an unlikely coincidence for two prosifications of two sets of I rímur i that appear together in a single I rímur i manuscript to which Jón Eggertsson had access, to also appear in a single saga manuscript written by Jón.
