2. a written deed, chartulary, esp. of the rights, property, and inventories of churches, kirkju-máldagi; the old eccl. law made it incumbent on the church-lord or churchwarden to put on parchment any gift or emolument made to the church by private donors; this deed (máldagi) might then for authorisation and publication be brought into parliament to be read in the Lögrétta or from the Law-hill. It had also to be read at home once a twelvemonth at church when there were many worshippers present, see K. Þ. K. 46 (ch. 10), K. Á. 190, D. I.I.)">Bs. i. 778. A specimen of such an original scroll with successive entries in different hands is the Reykjaholts-máldagi (the deed of Reykholt, dating from the time of Snorri the historian). An interesting collection of the earliest máldagar, all in the vernacular tongue, and very illustrative of the state of the infant church of Iceland, has been published by Jón Sigurdsson in D. I. i, as also in H. E. passim. At a later date (13th and 14th centuries) the bishops used to make collections for their diocese of all the special máldagar, entering them into one book, which was to be kept at the cathedral; for several such collections, bearing the names of the respective bishops who collected them, see List of Authors (J. I.) máldaga-bók, -skrá, f. a book, entry, of máldagar; jarða-máldagi, a deed telling the landmarks etc. of a farm or estate.
