Note to Anon Lil 62VII

[4] tígnarsæti ‘seat of honour’: In Stjórn, it is the word used for Solomon’s throne (Unger 1862, 551, 561); Oddur Gottskálksson (Sigurður Nordal 1933) uses it to translate cathedras in synagogis (‘high seats in synagogues’, Luke XI.43, XX.46). He uses the analogous tignarstóll for sedes maiestatis (Matt. XIX.28) or sedes magnitudinis (Heb. VIII.1), the ‘seat of majesty’, from which Christ will judge the world.
