Stockholm, National Archives, E 1984 (2), Bielkesamlingen, 01 Hogenskild Bielkes samling, Handlingar rörande Nynäs gård i Nousis socken, Åbo län. Vol. 10. Financial register and a tenant register pertaining to the landed estates of Anna Hansdotter Tott in Finland
1523–1530
and
1551
Register of finances
Two registers that have been bound together, both pertaining to the estates of
Nynäs
,
Vik
, and
Lahis
(or possibly only one or two of them). The first concerns the years
1523−1530
and is more miscellaneous in nature. It covers folios 1−53 and 76, and consists of notes on expenses and incomes. Some examples of headings:
Fol. : 'Wbyrd aff tawasteland saxamakij sokn'.
Fol. : 'Anno dni Md23
o
ffra höste oc til nyars dagh'.
Fol. : 'Anno dni mdxxvii thn tiidh ath Nyenas bleff branth'.
Fol. : 'tredie aareth i rogh'.
Fol. : 'anno dni mdxxx'.
Fol. : 'Vtgipth I wadmal anno dni mdxvii'.
The register is not ordered chronologically. The buildings of
Nynäs
estate are known to have burnt down in
1527
and some of the notes are datable by reference to this.
The second register concerns the year
1551
and is a well-structured tenant register of the estates of
Nynäs
,
Vik
, and
Lahis
.
By folio:
Fols. : Nynäs
Fols. : Vik
Fols. : Lahis (fol. is blank; fol. contains short notes written by another hand and dated to
1577
and
1578
).
Paper
86 folios.
13cm × 35cm
Foliation (1–76) in the upper right-hand corner. Foliation skips blank folios (ten altogether), and counts fol. 61 twice, and therefore runs only to 76.
Unclear folio structure.
Some leaves have been cut out and their size varies considerably. The register from 1551 (fols. 54–75) differs structurally from the preceding folios.
Text in a single column, not ruled.
Different hands for fols. 1−53 (+76) and 54−75. Possibly several hands in the first section also. Black and brown ink. On fol. , a note identifies the owner – and possibly also the scribe – of the booklet as
Petrus Erici
.
A pentagram scratched on the cover.
A limp binding of light brown leather. The covers are formed of two separate pieces of leather laced together at the back cover with leather thongs. A contemporary hand has written the beginning of Psalm 46, 'Omnes gentes plaudite manibus' on the front cover. Apart from this, the cover features later archival markings 'Räkn. f. Nynäs i Finland', '1527–30'.
A manuscript consisting of two parts, one from
1523 to 1530
, and the other from
1551
. The stylistic differences are clear, and the older one is much less clearly organized. Both registers are written in a narrow folio format suggesting they are the original versions.
The registers are part of a large block of records from the
16th century
pertaining to the estates of
Nynäs
,
Vik
, and
Lahis
, which were managed as a whole. A likely place of writing is
Nynäs
estate, but the records could equally well have been written elsewhere.
The financial records of
Nynäs
and related estates came to the Swedish Crown, and later the
Swedish National Archives
, when the possessions and archives of
Hogenskild Bielke
were confiscated following his execution in
1605
(see
Introduction
to these descriptions).
