3. Group B: Alexander og Lúðvík

Group B (designation Seelow 1989: 201) consists of those manuscripts that only include the story Vaticinium and Amici as an individual text. In Icelandic it is known as the Ævintýri af Alexander og Lúðvík that survived in five manuscripts with the oldest extant one being written in the first quarter of the 18^th century. Two of them still include parts of the frame narrative (see Seelow 1989: 212, 214).
