Abstract: The present essay analyses the Danish manuscript Codex Holmensis K 4Codex Holmiensis K 4 (Stockholm, Kungliga biblioteket)7Codex Holmiensis K 47 (Stockholm, Kungliga biblioteket) (Royal Library, Stockholm), written around 1500. The codex consists of six medieval verse epics which belong to the genre of romance. Three of them – Ivan the Lion Knight, Duke Frederick of Normandy, and FloresFlores og Blanseflor (dän.) and Blanzeflor – are Danish versions of the Old Swedish EufemiavisorEufemiavisor (schwed.), written in the early fourteenth century and usually attributed to the Norwegian queen EufemiaEufemia, Königin von Norwegen. Of the remaining three – The Dwarf King LaurinDværgekongen Laurin, PersenoberPersenober oc Constantianobis and Konstantianobis, and The Chaste Queen –, the first two are translations, while no foreign-language model can be found for The Chaste Queen. Part I describes the narratives in their literary and medial contexts; Part II deals with K 47 as a material object and focusses on specific phenomena of the manuscript such as its narratological terminologies, prologues and epilogues; Part III investigates the post-medieval transmission of the three narratives in K 47 which were printed in popular editions from the early sixteenth to the late eighteenth centuries, Flores, Persenober, and Laurin; here the focus is on the print transmission of Flores and Blanzeflor (1504–1745).
